Queen Mary Falls

The result of flooding rains at Queen Mary Falls. This large tree did not fall here but was swept down stream in the huge surge of water & topsoil. The water level on Saturday was above that man's head.
This footbridge was the only access to see the falls...I gave it a miss !!

For Gail :>) No crocs in this neck of the woods...once upon a time dinosaurs ruled though !!

Never underestimate the power of flowing water.

Guest		14-Jan-2008 21:14
Really shows the power of nature..v

Those two dinosaurs are adjusting their crocs ! ;-) Amazing how quickly the water levels get down afterwards, well captured ! ..

Gary Winters		10-Jan-2008 17:01
So what's the deal? They are doing some touch your toes exercises in the woods? :-) That water looks pretty angry.

Carol Rollins		10-Jan-2008 13:16
Excellent capture to demonstrate Nature's strength. V

Debbie Blackburn Beierle		10-Jan-2008 07:18
Impressive what high volumes of water can do.

Guest		10-Jan-2008 07:17
is that a new thing...walking with your head down/half bend on the waist?!?! :D somehow the couple on the right caught my eyes more so than the water. :)

Guest		10-Jan-2008 06:05
Are these two bowing before the strength of nature? Very impressive.

Chad Ramsey		10-Jan-2008 06:01
Be careful!

Chad Ramsey		10-Jan-2008 06:00
Wow, yes lots of it!

Brian McAllister		10-Jan-2008 05:57
Excellent shot…….

Hi Laine, Wow, it looks like you got a lot of rain. Excellent shot!

Sheila		10-Jan-2008 03:48
Great shot Laine. I hope some of that water has gone where they were desperate for it.

Cindi Smith		10-Jan-2008 03:22
Love the shot....but you guys needed the rain...well, maybe not that much rain at once. Wonderful shot and documentary! Good photojournalism

Simon Chandler		10-Jan-2008 03:14
Excellent capture. Great composition. Good photojournalism. v

Guest		10-Jan-2008 02:47
I like that the shot is razor sharp and that the fury of the rushing water comes through so clearly. You caught the attitude of the scene very well. Vote

Robin Reid		10-Jan-2008 01:51
This is quite dramatic. Well seen.

CJ Burianek		10-Jan-2008 01:24
we had a huge flood in the town where I grew up when I was 12 or so and it was scary to see the true power that water can have in massive quantities like this... great documentary shot laine!

carol j. phipps		10-Jan-2008 01:22
Rushing water can be very scary!!! Great capture.

Craig Persel		10-Jan-2008 01:15
Thank goodness for rain. :-)

s_barbour		10-Jan-2008 00:45

Nearly time for Noah to launch the Ark.

Barbara Heide		10-Jan-2008 00:24

petesie		09-Jan-2008 23:36
So glad you gave it a miss. Unimaginable power.

joanteno		09-Jan-2008 23:16
Definitely angry waters..

J. Scott Coile		09-Jan-2008 23:07
Very few things are as belittling as nature's fury!

Yvonne		09-Jan-2008 23:00
Wow, it must have had power to move that huge log as far as that! Many snakes? Great shot Laine!

BAS Photography		09-Jan-2008 22:44
But there is a good thing in this... the shot is excellent! ~V~

Gail Davison		09-Jan-2008 22:35
I'd be terrified of a croc in there.
