Water Droplets over the Rock Edge

A telephoto view freezes sparkling droplets and splashes as two streams cross the dark rock edge at the Scheidegger Waterfalls.

This telephoto photograph captures the detailed movement of water as it passes over a rock edge at the Scheidegger Waterfalls near Scheidegg in Bavaria, Germany. Instead of presenting the streams as smooth ribbons, the image reveals individual droplets, splashes and broken sheets of water suspended against the dark, mossy rock. Small plants and fine trickles beside the main flow add texture to this close study of the natural cascade.
