"Vertical Light and Shadow"...

What's unique about this still photograph is that the rushing sound of water is removed. The waterfall and stream are silent, giving you an uninterrupted experience of this scene in it's simplicity. I hope you enjoy. Comments welcome!

"Above the Rain"...

We may not always see it, but there is light above the darkness. We may not see it through the storm, the rain, the mist and fog. But, if you're patient, when you see it, it can be a beautiful thing.
I watched as the rain approached me, and as I decided to photograph this scene, the upper clouds broke and the sun came through the top.
