p.1 #1 · Gunlock flooding: Gunlock Waterfalls


The wet spring created a nice phenomenon this year: waterfalls at Gunlock Reservoir. This sandstone location has an overflow that turns into a maze of waterfalls if flooding occurs. It hasn't happened in 7 years but this year the magic happened. Here are a handful of my favorites in the landscape orientation. I'll post some portraits one tomorrow.

Very nice. I like the 4th one the most. It's nice to see those unique (and short live) waterfalls with clean water. It's usually muddy and brown/orange. If only there was a huge red arch at the top of each of these shots to complement waterfalls

Oh man those are gorgeous! The second one is my favorite, it conveys so much motion.

Great shots, Gordon. I was there in Dec, wish I could have seen these waterfalls. You did a nice job with them.

Many locals were up visiting for a few weeks while this happened. It was a bit like a carnival. Had to shoot carefully and occasionally just clone someone out as this was a popular location.

No arch. That'd be true nirvana. I suspect the water was clearer here because it's coming straight out of a reservoir instead of churning down a stream bed forever.

That's so much!

Thank you Dave. That log just stayed for hours. The next day it had washed down and away.
