Description
Sol Duc Falls is a classic location in the rain forest of the Olympic Peninsula within Olympic National Park, and is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. I had visited several times before, and I knew that the summer snowmelt would have the river running high. What I did not expect was the thunderous sound it made as it crashed in separate but parallel waterfalls into the chasm below. The spray billowed and boiled up from below, virtually concealing the falls from any distant view.
The conditions were perfectly atrocious when I saw the falls as they cascaded through the gaps in the rock. Cold, cloudy, rainy and dismal. Perfect lighting for the long exposures I needed to capture the spirit of the waters and forest. What I was unable to capture was the enormity of the sound the river produced in full flow. Standing up close, the rocks shook from the force and the staggering volume sent me reeling back down the trail with my ears ringing..
CONTEST WINNER: First Place, "Water, Black and White Film" presented by the Black and White Film art group, September 2020.

In addition to the banner, I am adding this more permanent recognition of its FEATURE on the homepage of A TREE OR TREES IN BLACK AND WHITE. I try mightily to feature only images that would be at home in a juried competition. No doubt that this image fits that bill. CONGRATULATIONS! And consider adding your image to DISCUSSIONS "Please post your featured photograph here" for greater, long-lasting visibility.
