Waterfall, Red Bluff Bay, Alaska, 2013

This waterfall was hundreds of feet high, descending from the heights of a towering cliff. However, I choose to feature the waterfall’s most powerful moment – the tremendous force of its flow crashing upon the rocks below it. The water seems to virtually explode on impact. I catch its flow over the face of the rock, and compare it to the flow of a supplementary stream of water at the left hand side of the frame. The story here is all about nature’s power and energy.

I thought of that as well, Rose, as I selected this shot from about 50 similar images. The energy of the falling water seems enormous as it hits that rock, and contrasts mightily with the smaller cascade at the left.

The water is like a living force, splitting the rock! Vote
