Image # A58-352; I captured this picturesque image of a water fall near Elk Falls, Kansas. The waterfall is tucked in the rolling landscape of the Flint Hills along U.S. Highway 160. Elk Falls is a natural limestone formation where the slow running river picks up speed as it flows through shallow, rocky flats and down a slight decline, where it slows again just before its sudden, powerful drop off the sharp limestone bedrock.
The falls can make an impressive roar after a good rainfall; and impressive, too, is the deep boulder strewn river canyon in which it is located. However, this is Kansas; and it has been known to be called Elk Trickle during the dry season. I have been honored by the appearance of this photo as “PHOTO OF THE WEEK” on the Wichita Photographers website.
