Rough Water - Thematic Photography

Any expanse of water that is not as flat as a mill pond is rough to me. So for this week's 'rough' theme I will take you on a tour starting in the South West of England.

Mawgan Porth
A little further along the coast is another beach where people walk their dogs.

Crantock Beach
When conditions are right this area is used for surfing.

Changing countries and changing scenery takes us to Norway and a postcard from my collection.

Geirangerfjord - Seven Sisters waterfall
Still in Norway there is plenty of white water to be found.

Stream in mountains east of Stavanger
Water flows downhill often in a hurry as it does over in Canada.

Niagara Falls
On the Rhine in Switzerland the falls may not be as high; they are impressive nevertheless.

The Rhine Falls at Neuhausen am Rheinfall
Moving closer to home on the River Tees in Teesdale, County Durham you will find this waterfall.

The Tees Barrage is located a few mile from my home and the final rough picture for today shows how it deals with flood water some of which will fallen over High Force miles inland.

I hope my water torture hasn't made you seasick because you must check out other 'rough' posts at Carmi's thematic photographic 157,
