Views of Sequim, the Olympic Peninsula. . .and beyond
Milford Sound in New Zealand becomes the land of a thousand waterfalls when it rains. Waterfalls were everywhere. Unfortunately, it was raining so hard and was so foggy, that we could only see the bottom 100 feet of what is usually 1000ft soaring mountains and valleys.
There is an interesting phenomenon in eastern Oregon regarding waterfalls. In the Olympic peninsula waterfalls are all practically dried up and barely flowing this time of year. Here in this VERY VOLCANIC area the water flows from underneath in lava tubes and lava rock and is just as powerful in September. Sure makes photographing them easier!
The Sol Duc River splits into these three tails making the falls. This is just the very top of the falls. It’s one of my favorite falls in the area.
When my friend and I were hiking Sol Duc we saw this couple in wedding garb hiking the trail. I caught them at the Falls. I really liked this shot with her reaching out for him (right after her photographer had jus “fluffed” her dress)
If anyone knows who they are, I’d love to send them the photos.
This is one of my favorite spots just 45 minutes to the trailhead at the upper dungeness.
