Another shot from my trip over to USA earlier in the year. Olympic National Park really was something special. I've never seen so much vegetation and growth in my life...Expected I guess due to the ridiculous amount of moisture in the air (and crazy rainfall!). This was on the hike towards Sol Duc Falls...I found it very easy to stray from the main event and find these hidden wonders....

Wow Marty, I really like that. Was it locked on a tripod? Any exposure info? I've been experimenting with flowing water and shutter speeds recently.

Thanks for that...Yeah it was using a tripod...under the forest canopy is pretty dark so its pretty useful to always carry a tripod. I took it all over the country haha I think the exposure info was ISO 200, Exposure time 3s, f16...or somewhere around that!

Splendid!
The Olympic Penninsula is one of my favorite places in the world.
We used to holiday there as kids.
Thanks for posting those.

Thanks everyone for the comments. Hardest thing about all the places I went to in the USA with my camera was that time limits + weather conditions made it difficult to always get it right! Luckily I did get a few keepers.... I'm currently working on photos for the main event (yellowstone NP)! Be in touch.

Cheers
