Force of nature
Twin Falls State Park
Today I decide to hike to the waterfalls for my waterfalls photo theme. My trip begin at noon as I drive along I-90 East toward Twin Falls State Park at exit 35. The nice thing about this park, is you start hiking along the water stream all the way to its source, the twin waterfalls. Along the path, the trees are green with trunks covered by green mosses. Lush of vegetation on the ground and raspberries are ripe bloody red. The celebration of life is once again at its fullest. The music of serenity from the water flow is playing nonstop. For my break, I sit on a big rock in between the waterfalls and the steam, listening to the water flow, admiring nature's beauty and capture some photos.
Now it's about 6pm, time to leave Twin Falls and go visit another waterfall, Snoqualmie Falls. It's on the way back to Seattle on exit 25. Snoqualmie falls is much grander and unbelievably in the backyard, a few miles off I-90. The falls are so powerful and steep, dropping 268 feet in vertical with such a velocity that creates a thumping sound and shoots out the water vapors hundreds feet back to the top. I decide to stay till dark for my night shots of the falls and it is definitely worth it.

That was quite a mission, wasn't it Tom? two falls in one day :D
The night captures were quite magnificent.
Thank Thyda. Not that intensive hike though:) The other fall is on the way near by. I couldn't pass that up. Gotta shoot 2 birds with one camera :)
Yeah the falls at night are so fabulous. Love the second photo the most.
Yes, I couldn't agree more, you wouldn't want to let such opportunity pass you by.. killing two birds with one stone.
Thanks tumnei!
