Wednesday’s Photos
A Refreshing Hike to the Waterfalls
Gone is the dense toxic smoke, gone is the blood-red sun and gone is the feeling of tense anxiety about the imminent danger of the wildfires all around us. The joy of being free from the oppressive atmosphere that dominated our lives during the past two months let our spirits rise in jubilation. Prompted by the fortuitous turn of events, my wife and I decided to go on a hike on a rarely used trail past the Needles cemetery that led us straight to the Whatshan waterfalls. Here is a brief virtual tour to one of the oases of peace in our region. Enjoy.

Happy relief, now that the water is triumphing over the fire.

The colors and reflections in the last photo — together with the clarity of the water — are wonderful. The falls certainly are worth a visit, but I could sit by that pool for a long time.

The falls and the pool are a wonderful place to visit. You could sit there for many hours in complete solitude.

Love the green water of this falls area and all the golden hues in the last image. You are lucky to have such a refuge from the complicated world we live in and good news that the smoke has cleared and the worry has subsided.

Great to hear, dear Peter, that the danger is gone.
We love waterfalls as well. This year we have had quite a lot rain and so the waterfalls are impressive. Great pictures of the waterfall.
Thanks for sharing

Waterfalls have a calming effect on the human spirit. Some claim that there is an abundance of negative ions near the falls. Thank you for your kind comments, Klausbernd!
