Description
Paradise River cascading over granite rocks in Mt Rainier National Park. The Paradise River is a small, short but swift river in Pierce County, Washington. It is the first major tributary of the Nisqually River. Located entirely within the bounds of Mount Rainier National Park, it is notable for its waterfalls, a total of eight. The Paradise River originates at the toe of the Paradise Glacier. It drops over Paradise Falls and Sluiskin Falls as it drops swiftly downhill into Paradise Valley. Just before entering the valley it receives Edith Creek, which also has many waterfalls along its course. From there, the river flows generally southwest. After flowing out of Paradise Valley, the river drops over Ruby Falls and the Washington Cascades. Not long after that, the river widens out and drops over probably the most famous and well known waterfall in the Mount Rainier area, Narada Falls, and soon after is crossed by the Mount Rainier Highway. Narada Falls is soon followed by the seldom-seen Sidewinder Cascades. A ways past Narada Falls, the river drops over Madcap Falls before it is joined soon after by Tatoosh Creek, which also has more than one major waterfall along its course. After that the river turns west, drops over Carter Falls soon after, and makes its final push toward its confluence with the Nisqually River.

I like this. Very nice composition and I really like the textures in the rock. You had just the right shutter speed too. Well done.

We see so many water flow pictures...I take them myself...but this really stands apart. The unusual rock formations along with the "ropes" of water flowing down really set it apart. Stunning composition!

Thanks so much, Kevin. I agree, it is hard to make images of flowing or falling water that stand out these days, so I am very happy to hear that you think this one does :)
