Snow-melting during easter time

[knb]

River Gaula swelled up during easter due to warm and sunny weather, as can be seen here at Eafossen (a waterfall in the upper region of the river, where the visiting salmon is unable to pass).

Thrilling and majestic jump

Impressive power of nature!

Thanks for your nice comments.

Here is also Eggafossen, a smaller waterfall a bit downstream. In season, you can see the salmon jumping here, struggling to get past.

Kjetil - magnificent images and "rich" processing that fits.

The detailed rendition of the water splashes makes the image awesome.  Very impressive!

I unambiguously concur!

Me too - I like to actually see the water droplets and don't care much for the cream look that the long shutter speed folk go for.  Each to their own I guess.

I unambiguously concur!

Thank you all for your comments. As suggested, I do not like running water to get too blurred. Normally, it is somewhat like in the second picture, but in the rare occasion of the first picture I found that it worked best with a rather short shutter time.

I like both Kjetil
Between them you've captured both detail and a sense of the power & energy.
Plus i love rivers with that colouring (in Scotland, its usually caused by the peat)

[Birna Rørslett]

Brownish water is caused by peat or leached humic soil substances. In this case, probably the latter as the river drains a catchment in which coniferous forests predominate.

It is worth noting that water browning, whatever the underlying cause, is strengthened by calcareous bedrocks.
