Spring... Coming in like a Lion!

The Palouse Falls lies on the Palouse River, about 4 mi (6.4 km) upstream of the confluence with the Snake River in southeast Washington, United States. The falls are 200 ft (61 m) in height.[The canyon at the falls is 115 meters (377 ft) deep, exposing a large cross-section of the Columbia River Basalt Group. These falls and the canyon downstream comprise an important feature of the channeled scablands created by the great Missoula Floods that swept periodically across eastern Washington and across the Columbia River Plateau during the Pleistocene epoch.

Exif: F Number: 8, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/60 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 200, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 28.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 5D Mark II

Spectacular image, Karen..love the POV and the power of the water! Too bad, though, about the top soil. #1362791
