Palouse Falls
Palouse Falls drops nearly 200 feet into a large pool at the base of an amphitheater of eroded basalt. The falls were created by glacial floods during the Pleistocene epoch. The falls lie on the Palouse River about 4 miles from the Snake River in southeastern Washington. They seem all the more dramatic by being surrounded by flatlands that give no clue to their existence.

McWay Falls at Waterfall Cove
I have driven Highway 1 through Big Sur for many years but had never found McWay Falls. I was aware that the falls were somewhere near Julia Pffeifer Burns State Park but, somehow, never made the connection until an afternoon in late February. I was astonished by the setting. The conditions were challenging for this photo, harsh midday light, but I shot 5 exposures a stop apart and blended them together to bring out he detail in the shadows.
McWay Falls: highly recommended!
