A Photo a Week: Moving Waters

This week, we are on the beautiful island of Maui. Along the road to Hana, there are many amazing waterfalls. People who don’t want to brave the crazy, winding drive will take helicopter outings to see as many of them as possible. We drove, which gave us stunning up close and personal views of them.

Water is the lifeblood of this planet. It’s beauty and force are both awesome and terrifying. For the northern hemisphere, if you live anywhere near mountains that receive snow, June is a month of waiting and wondering. In the mid-1980s, Salt Lake City was hit with record snowfall that led to record flooding. Streets were sandbagged and turned into fast-moving rivers. Already this year, we are seeing weekly reports of people missing or drowned in the high, rushing waters of the rivers and “creeks” that bring the snowmelt down the mountains to the valley lakes. Nature should never be underestimated.

IN A NEW POST CREATED FOR THIS CHALLENGE, SHARE A PHOTO OR TWO (OR MORE) FEATURING MOVING WATER.

Everyone is welcome to participate, even if your blog isn’t about photography.

Here’s how it works:

1. Each week, I’ll come up with a theme and post a photo that I think fits. You take photographs based on your interpretation of the theme, and post them on your blog (a new post!) anytime before the following Thursday, when the next photo theme will be announced.
2. To make it easy for others to check out your photos, title your blog post “A Photo a Week Challenge: (theme of the week)” and be sure to use the “postaday″ tag.
3. Come back here and post a link to your image in the comments for this challenge.
