Rock Fall
Although it might seem quite small, this lovely waterfall is actually 15 m/49 ft high. The end of the cascade is in a valley which has been filled with tumbled rocks, and this huge boulder plugging the final drop fools the eye into seeing a much smaller feature.
Just behind it is a second drop of 9 m/30 ft which can just be seen in the third shot.

The final colour photo of the falls is a side view taken from the riverbank. The gravel basin of the stream is in the foreground and the waterfall is on the right. A person in blue clothing is standing amongst the boulders of the riverbed, giving scale.
Another colour photo this time taken about halfway towards the falls. The rugged and gnarled rocks of the canyon sides can now be seen in more detail. As well as the boulder plugging the canyon over which the water is falling, a second drop is now visible behind it.
A colour shot of a distance view of the same falls. This viewpoint is much further back and away from the waterfall, standing next to a rushing stream of water. The mossy cliffs on either side of the falls are now seen more clearly. The sky is overcast and grey.
A colour photo of a close-up view of a beautiful domed waterfall. The water is white and streams over the surface of a huge rounded boulder. On either side are cliffs and a mossy green bank can be seen behind it. A stream is running away from it and towards the viewpoint.
