Taken today: Seven Falls is about a 4 mile walk up Bear Canyon from the suburbs of Tucson, Arizona. (for reference, the lower fall is about 30' and most of the sahuaro cacti are 25-30+' tall). There are 7 falls of various sizes, last one is below the photo; water is coming from a hidden canyon between the ridges on the right. The falls run most of the winter due to snow melt higher in the mountains, but during summer thunderstorms in the mountains this same place can have deadly severe flash floods w/o warning.

Unless someone has actually seen a saguaro cactus, I think it's hard to imagine just how large in scope this pic really is. I love the subtle colorations of the desert, and I'd love to see this same scene in about a month or two!

"Where there is perhaps a province in which the photograph can tell us nothing more than what we see with our own eyes, there is another in which it proves to us how little our eyes permit us to see." ~Dorothea Lange

Wow. What a truly incredible scene. I would just have to keep climbing, I wouldn't be able to resist! Marvelous capture Rick, very well composed. It portrays such depth.
