Not too far out of Flagstaff on the reservation. These are seasonal and I was
there last week which was too late for high water. Near as I can tell on the web,
this was something like 54 cubic feet per second. Highest recorded was
120000cfs. The water is very muddy, but with a very blue sky and late light,
doesn't show except in a few areas of the pic.

Feels like a waterfall under construction... by Mother Nature and Company. Comments by Sandi MacDonald on Thu, 05/13/10 20:07 Beautiful... Comments by Bob Buckles on Thu, 05/13/10 23:54 Mike, nice capture and great lighting. The shutter speed is "right on." Comments by jj on Thu, 05/13/10 23:58 I might have shaved a touch off the top and the left hand side. But the rocks, gorgeous. Well done. Comments by CHCollins on Fri, 05/14/10 00:21 So good it's hard to believe it's real and was seen by a human. Comments by CHCollins on Fri, 05/14/10 00:24 The only thing I might add is that the upper left corner seems somewhat unnaturally "curved"... my brain expects that part of the shot to be darker with less color and detail. Comments by John Wise on Fri, 05/14/10 01:10 Nice light, great shot! Comments by Paul Bracey on Fri, 05/14/10 01:40 +++ Comments by Richard Dong on Fri, 05/14/10 03:19 The sense of scale is stunning. Comments by Pietro Cecchi on Fri, 05/14/10 07:15 Spectacular scenery... :) Comments by Greg Collins on Fri, 05/14/10 09:14 Ditto the above comments Mike. Can you tell me the height of the falls, it's hard to put a size to them. Comments by Sal Santostefano on Fri, 05/14/10 15:01 Amazing! Comments by Maria Salvador on Sun, 05/16/10 07:52 :-)I agree with all the above adjectives - from spectacular to amazing!
