Waterfall on McHugh Creek, Alaska The richness of the colors in this photo are real, enhanced by the warm color of the evening sun.
Enchantment Lakes, Washington This is the full scene of the waterfall in the previous photo. Downstream from here, Snow Creek flows into Sprite Lake and then into a series of tarns on its way to Leprechaun Lake.
Merced River, Yosemite Valley Just above Pohono Bridge, the spring runoff piles up in these crests, whose turbulence contrasts with the smooth reflections of the early morning sun in the troughs. On a clear day in Yosemite, when the skies lack dramatic clouds, there's plenty to appreciate if you look down.
