Chasing Waterfalls

I came across quite a few waterfalls on my Canadian travels....really beautiful, but almost impossible to photograph!

Here are a few of my attempts....

Clayton Falls, near Bella Coola


Waterfall on the Robson River, along the Berg Lake Trail


The following photographs were all taken on a walk on the Maligne Canyon trail. The Maligne River flows from its source in Maligne Lake northward to Medicine Lake, disappearing underground and eventually emerging downstream of the Maligne Canyon. Known to the native people as Chaba Imne (River of the Great Beaver), today's name was coined by a missionary whose horses were swept away by its swift-flowing waters in 1846. He described the river as being "la traverse maligne".

  2. I think you've done a great job here. I know what you mean though. I have taken pictures of waterfalls over the years and wished the camera could really have captured all the textures.

  3. It really is so hard to capture beauty like that in a photo. My camera tends to fill up with multiple pictures of the exact same thing in my attempts. I think you did it here, my favorite is second to last, so much depth in that! So pretty!
