Sometimes a small trickle of water, sometimes an overwhelming, mind-blowing volume of rapidly rushing torrent. I guess all you need for a waterfall is falling water! But when we find these phenomena of nature we cannot help but stand in awe! From the incredible crushing power of Niagara falls to the little relaxation piece in your living room, the idea of water falling is a most wonderful thing.
Wikipedia says:
A waterfall is usually a geological formation resulting from water, often in the form of a stream, flowing over an erosion-resistant rock formation that forms a sudden break in elevation.
Some waterfalls form in mountain environments where erosion is rapid and stream courses may be subject to sudden and catastrophic change. In such cases, the waterfall may not be the end product of many years of water action over a region, but rather the result of relatively sudden geological processes such as landslides, faults or volcanic action.
Waterfalls may also be artificial, and they are sometimes created as garden and landscape ornaments.

Goodnight and Enjoi!
Dear David Shepherd or Top Ten Pictures of the Day owner,
ReplyDeleteIt has come to my attention that you have made an unauthorized use of my copyrighted work entitled Havasu Falls (the "Work") in the preparation of a work derived there from. I have reserved all rights in the Work, which was first published in 2006 on Flickr.com and I have registered the copyright. You have also made use of similar works of mine published at the same site. Your work entitled Top Ten Pictures of the Day and which appears on your web site at http://toptenpictures.blogspot.com/2007/05/dont-go-jumping-waterfalls.html, is essentially identical to the Work and clearly used the Work as its basis. You neither asked for nor received permission to use the Work as the basis for Top Ten Pictures of the Day nor to make or distribute copies of it. Therefore, I believe you have willfully infringed my rights under 17 USC Section 101, et seq. and could be liable for statutory damages as high as $100,000. I demand that you immediately cease the use and distribution of all infringing works derived from the Work, and all copies of it, and that you deliver to me all unused, undistributed copies of it, or destroy such copies immediately, and that you desist from this or any other infringement of my rights in the future. If I have not received an affirmative response from you by close of business (5 pm Pacific Standard Time) on 5/2/09 now indicating that you have fully complied with these requirements, I shall consider taking the full legal remedies available to rectify this situation.
It is disturbing to see a “donations link” entitled “help support photographers”. I wonder what that is for. I know I haven’t received any of that “support”.
Sincerely,
Brian Knott
Brian,
ReplyDeleteAs we have talked already, I will keep this brief.
Sorry for the misunderstanding.
