This 1,430-foot (440 m) plunge alone is among the twenty highest waterfalls in the world. Trails from the valley floor and down from other park areas outside the valley lead to both the top and base of Upper Yosemite Fall. The upper fall is formed by the swift waters of Yosemite Creek, which, after meandering through Eagle Creek Meadow, hurl themselves over the edge of a hanging valley in a spectacular and deafening show of force.
The Upper Geyser Basin (Yellowstone National Park) is famous for hosting Old Faithful Geyser. But there is much more in the area than just this famous geyser. The Upper Geyser Basin also boasts the largest concentration of geysers in the world, including many of the worlds largest geysers.
Unlike most two-level saintes chapelles, the one at Chateaudun has the main chapel downstairs and a sort of addendum upstairs. The Lord of the castle worshipped down below, not here.
Why? He had gout. Stairs were not, therefore, his cup of tea.

Album Description – Idstein, Germany – 2016APR07
I visited somewhere so small I didn’t see any stoplights, so big it has 11 suburbs – eleven formerly independent villages absorbed in 1971 into Idstein, a splendid Town of Tradition with history dating to 1102 – a royal seat in the past and a modern city in the present!
My friends Dori & Siggi picked me up 2:00 at the crew hotel; Dori drove us north across the Rhine River, then 12 miles on further north, past Wiesbaden up into a magnificent town in the Taunus Mountains I have long wanted to tour. Highlights:
✓Castle Lane („Schloßgasse“):
• Tower of Idstein 'Bergfried', 'Wachturm', a 12th-century free-standing fighting-tower in Castle Garden 'Schloßgarten', a part of Idstein Castle a.k.a. the Witches‘ Tower 'Hexenturm'
• Idstein Castle, former fortress 'Burg Idstein', Castle Lane 'Schloßgasse', later palace 'Schloß Idstein' 1614, now school
• Fortress Gate, the massive 'Burgtor' 1497
• Heavenly Lane 'Himmelsgasse':
• Timber-frame 'Fotostudio Idstein Claudia Rothenberger' 18th century corner building, corner of Felix-Lahnstein-Street
• Timber-frame 'Gasthof zur Peif' 1615, at King Adolf Square
✓Upper Lane 'Obergasse':
• Hotel/Restaurant German House 'Deutsches-Haus' 1751
• Hotel/Restaurant house Henrich Heer built 1620 'Höerhof'
✓Martin Luther Street 'Martin-Luther-Straße':
• Parish Church 'Pfarrkirche' 1330
• Picturesque view at the church down a cobblestone lane to the Town Hall and the Tower of Idstein
✓King Adolf Square 'König-Adolf-Platz':
• Town Hall 'Rathaus' 1698
• Historic timber-framed houses 'Fachwerkhäuser, and most especially the gorgeous house ‘Killingerhaus’ 1615
✓Lopsided house 'Das sogenannte Schiefe Haus' 1727
✓Brewpub, the Idsteiner 'Alte Feuerwache' 1928, a converted old fire station, where we ate an early supper
Due to its well-preserved Old Town 'Altstadt', Idstein is on the German Timber-Frame Road 'Deutsche Fachwerkstraße', a tourist route through towns with fine timbered construction. It was so much fun visiting here with my friends Dori & Siggi; I am scheduled for FRA next week, when we plan to return!

Hazelbrook,
Blue Mountains National Park.
Mid Blue Mountains bushwalks/waterfalls.
The waterfalls in the mid-Blue Mountains don’t receive as much publicity as the better known waterfalls in the upper Blue Mountains.
Certainly, the waterfalls around Katoomba, Blackheath & Wentworth Falls are larger & more spectacular.
Also, these areas are home to awe-inspiring views, imposing clifflines, and majestic valleys like The Jamison & the Grose Valleys.
The mid mountains landscape is more intimate, but there are some hidden gems to be found around the rainforests of Lawson & Hazelbrook.
Note: If you’re a keen photographer you should visit these waterfalls after decent rain.
Warning: some of these are rough tracks with slippery rocks so watch your footing & wear decent walking shoes or boots.
Hazelbrook is home to the well-known & much photographed Terrace Falls on the south side of the township.
The Terrace Falls reserve is a short walk of a few kms through lovely rainforest & contains three waterfalls.
It’s possible to make this into a more interesting circuit walk by turning left at the junction with Bedford Creek.
From there a short walk brings you to Bedford Pool - here you turn left & follow an un-named creek up a gully.
This track contains a few cascades and brings you to Pyramid Falls & an ‘orphan’ pagoda at the head of the gully.
It’s quite unusual to find rock pagodas in this area. From here you follow one of a couple of fire-trails back to where you started from.
For experienced walkers only:
The Terrace Falls track can be combined with the South Lawson waterfall walk to provide a feast of waterfalls.
Turn right at the bottom of the Terrace Falls track, follow Bedford Creek to Willawong Pool, then turn right into Lawson Creek.
From there its approx. a 1.5km bush-bash to reach the Sth Lawson reserve with lots of rock-hopping involved & creek crossings.
Allow half a day for this circuit (or a full day if you’re a serious photographer).
Note: There is a fire-trail that can be used to combine these two walks, but its quite boring walking in my opinion, though much quicker.
The South Lawson waterfall reserve is an easy 3km walk that contains four waterfalls & takes you through some varied vegetation.
This reserve features: Junction, Cataract, Adelina & Federal Falls.
On the north side of Lawson is the pretty Dante’s Glen, Lucy’s Glen, & Empire Pass tracks which are among the best walks in this area.
Dante’s Glen has a certain ambience to it with lovely rainforest & is home to three waterfalls including Fairy Falls.
It’s possible to combine Dante’s Glen with Empire Pass to make a great circuit walk of around 7-8kms, through a quite pristine area.
Northern Hazelbrook has a short walk of a couple of kms that features six waterfalls including Oaklands, Burgess & Horseshoe Falls.
This track runs between Oaklands Rd & Winbourne Rd. Along the way is a rough overgrown track that leads to an amphitheatre area.
So around 20 waterfalls can found in several bushwalks within a few kms drive of each other in the Hazlebrook-Lawson area.
Here you’ll find lovely patches of rainforest, impressive trees, wildflowers, colourful fungi, glow-worms, lizards, & yabbies. Enjoy!

Upper and Lower Table Rocks are two of the most prominent topographic features in the Rogue River Valley. These flat-topped buttes rise approximately 800 feet above the north bank of the Rogue River in southwestern Oregon. Upper and Lower refer to their positions relative to each other along the Rogue River; Lower Table Rock is located downstream, or lower on the river, from Upper Table Rock.
The Table Rocks were designated in 1984 as an Area of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC) to protect special plants and animal species, unique geologic and scenic values, and education opportunities. The remarkable diversity of the Table Rocks includes a spectacular spring wildflower display of over 75 species, including the dwarf wooly meadowfoam (Limnanthes floccosa ssp. pumila), which grows nowhere else on Earth but on the top of the Table Rocks. Vernal pool fairy shrimp (Branchinecta lynchi), federally listed as threatened, inhabit the seasonally formed vernal pools found on the tops of both rocks.
The 4,864-acre Table Rocks Management Area is cooperatively owned and administered by the Medford District Bureau of Land Management (2,105 acres) and The Nature Conservancy (2,759 acres). Memorandums of Understanding signed in 2011 and 2012 with the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde and the Cow Creek Band of Umpqua Tribe of Indians allow for coordinating resources to protect the Table Rocks for present and future generations. A cooperative management plan for the area was completed in 2013.
From Interstate 5, take Exit #33 heading east one mile on East Pine Street and turn north at the signal onto Table Rock Road. Drive 5.3 miles to Modoc Road and turn north. The trailhead is accessible off Modoc Road.
The Upper Table Rock trail is approximately 2.5 miles round trip with an elevation gain of 736 feet. Allow 2 to 3 hours for the entire hike. It is an easy/moderate trail with some steep sections. Good sturdy shoes and water are strongly recommended. There is no water available on the trail or at the trailhead. This trail is suggested for first time hikers.
On your ascent up the trail keep an eye out for the unique monolith rock formations. These irregular shaped monoliths may have been part of the original lava flow. On a clear day the summit offers a spectacular panoramic view that includes the Rogue River valley, Mt. McLoughlin, Mt. Ashland, and Pilot Rock.

I visited upper Antelope Canyon for the first time this past April--it's an incredible experience, and I highly recommend it, whether you're there to take pictures or not. I'm planning another trip to the area this fall, and will check out lower Antelope this time.
