Picture of the week

Volcanic cascade

A seasonal cascading waterfall pouring through a previously carved pathway out of volcanic basalt.  This particular stream is one of the feeders into the south fork of the American river in the upper sierras. Photographed in early June while the snow melt run-off in this area is still active.
