Description
Plunge Basin of Snoqualmie Falls
For the Snoqualmie People, who have lived for centuries in the Snoqualmie Valley in western Washington, Snoqualmie Falls is central to their culture, beliefs, and spirituality.
A traditional burial site, to the Snoqualmie, the falls are "the place where First Woman and First Man were created by Moon the Transformer" and "where prayers were carried up to the Creator by great mists that rise from the powerful flow."
The mists rising from the base of the waterfall are said to serve to connect Heaven and Earth.
..................
Note: Falls are 268 feet (82m) high.

Superb capture Bill. God Bless.
Beautiful - you captured the powerful flow of water & the rising mist very dramatically...
Very beautiful Bill and a great legend.
Wonderful-A real waterfall with real water and not a smooth mist
Wow, that's a serious amount of water flowing through there! Nice shot!
Excellent capture Bill, the noise must be amazing!! x
Fabulous shot and great image !!!
Oh, beautiful. Cotton hair, if I may say what it reminds me of. And no small falling distance either. You lucky fellow to be able to get around like you do and to get to take photos like this! The tree stuck against the rock at the top gives an idea of how big this water fall is. Was there a way down so one can take a photo of the falls from a low angle? That must be a fantastic view. Keep up the good work! :-)
You can see why it would inspire reverence and awe.
beautiful
It is beyond beautiful and mystical
Breathtaking beauty.....
What a beautiful spot! I can see why they would consider it sacred.
What a lovely waterfall. I can almost hear it and I really liked the story about it too.
Nice work and interesting narrative, Bill.
the roar must have been strong. beautiful falls and capture
What a beautiful photo, Bill! I have some vague memories of seeing this waterfall when I was very young – I hope to get back there someday!
Fantastic image love it Hugs Susan
That's such a beautiful waterfall. I can see why it seems the mist carries prayers aloft! A lovely shot.
Such a wide spread of water; lots of snowmelt there! Bet it was deafening (and moist!) Awe-inspiring capture!
I like how you'ved captured the force of the water combined with the spray here Bill!
Beauty! I can see why they would have powerful beliefs about this place.
I would have expected greater depth of field with that f-stop, iso and shutter speed! Love to shoot something like this. What would you do if you had another chance?
I can practically hear this... amazing photo.
lovely shot of power
An impressive sight and sound I'm sure! Beautiful shot of natures glory Bill, well done! Rob PS : Thanks for the link I will use it..
A most clever made nature-shot, Bill!
Wow, beautiful capture. Almost looks like our Rainbow Falls in Hilo Hawaii. Aloha
Very powerful falls and historic information!
