Description


Taken on the Sunshine Coast in British Columbia last year. This was located in a provincial or regional park whose name I carelessly forgot to photograph. I try to capture signs at places I take photos, but it's hit or miss - sometimes I get involved in distracting conversations or events or just plain forget. I'm calling this a cascade, but I don't really know if there's an "official" difference between a cascade & a waterfall. Here's what worldwaterfalls.com says about it but I think this is fairly arbitrary: "Simply put, a waterfall is a watercourse (stream, river, creek) that drops vertically, in other words, it flows over the edge of a cliff or down a slope. Waterfall lovers from around the world argue about what makes a waterfall. For WorldWaterfalls.com, we have decided that a drop of at least 3 metres (approximately 10 feet) or a slope of at least 30 degrees creates a waterfall. Realistically it is up to the eye of the waterfall lover. For example, we have gotten up close and personal with tiny waterfalls and created great images of them. A waterfall can exist in the heart and mind of the individual. Types of waterfalls are based on how the water falls or passes through it's course, how much water is flowing, the surface beneath it and the geological processes that created it (geomorphology). These all together form a waterfall's unique shape, it's fingerprint so to speak. Cascade is a commonly used term when referring to waterfalls and rightly so. The term "cascade" comes from the Italian word "cascada" which actually means "waterfall". A cascade type waterfall is defined by the surface beneath it. It is one of the most common as the surface beneath it is irregular and encompasses the falls not classified elsewhere. It is generally water that flows down in small steps or stages." Please zoom.

It looks rather tempting, like a slide!

Whatever you call it, this is lovely! I often wonder about the beginning stages of a river's erosion pattern, and this is like a look back in time. Eventually the water will cut a channel, and perhaps even form a defile.

I don't care what they're called, they are all lovely, and this one is a perfect example. Running water is magical wherever it runs! Marvelous capture of this downhill watercourse!
