As part of a day trip earlier this week, I drove through part of the Quinault Rain Forest on the Olympic Peninsula of the state of Washington. It was amazing to see so many large fir trees surrounded by green ferns, moss, and other vegetation—everything was so green.
I was thrilled when I spotted a large waterfall amidst all of this lush greenery. I could not see the actual source of the water, but it was flowing quite strongly.
It was a real contrast to the mountain waterfalls that I had seen the previous day on Mt. Rainier. The mountain waterfall scene seemed full of sharp edges and contrast, while the rain forest waterfall scene was soft and a bit dream-like.

Great post
Very nice Mike! Enjoyed seeing it!
That’s an excellent composition, Mike. I am envious. 🙂
Thanks, Steve. Given that it was taken in the pouring rain, I was pretty happy with the way the shot turned out. 🙂
It sounds like you were standing in the source of that waterfall, Mike. The Olympics get a lot of rain/snow,
You may well be right, Dan, about being at the source. There has been so much precipitation that one of the rain forest parks is closed due to flooding.
Yikes! That’s an amazing statement.
