#19 of 30 #Edition: 1/1

My fascination with waterfalls started when I was a little kid. I collected postcards showing Oregon's various waterfalls, all in their glorious long exposure goodness. More than 20 years later, and that silky smoothness is still a look that I love and find myself fascinated with.

I find waterfalls to be quite mesmerizing, both visually and aurally. The ever changing patterns in the cascades, the water hewn rocks, the thundering white noise. I've had horrible tinnitus for as long as I can remember. I don't know what silence is like because my ears are always ringing, loudly. White noise has therefore become very calming for me, whether it be the sound of a waterfall, river, the rain or just a fan blowing. When I visit a waterfall, I always make a point of spending some time sitting, observing my surroundings and taking everything in. The thundering cascades become my silence, and I savor every moment of it.

This little viewpoint was particularly inspiring - I loved how the waterfall was naturally framed by the moss, ferns, rocks and the huge tree root. Usually the best views of waterfalls is from below, but in my opinion, this one is an exception to that rule.

With this image, I hope I'm successful in sharing my love of waterfalls with you.
