[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
There are alot of Bridal Veil Falls in the United States including two in Colorado, One in Rocky Mountain National Park and the other in Telluride. This photo is of one the one near Telluride in Colorado's San Juan Mountains. It it the highest waterfalls in Colorado starting at an elevation of nearly 10,000 feet (3058 meters) and falling over 100 feet to a basin above the valley. The falls is due east from Telluride on a dirt road. The road up to the falls is a really nasty 4 wheel drive road and also takes you up to the top of a pass several thousand feet above Telluride. It is an extremely dangerous road. The locals will not rent you a Jeep if you plan on taking it up this road. It's best to park at the bottom of this road and hike up to the waterfalls.

This is one of many spectacular waterfalls in southwest Colorado's San Juan Mountains

wow, it must be very noisy in these houses, TFS Ori

Beautiful shot Paul,
Great exposure and sharpness. This looks like a really neat place to actually see and hear as the water cascades off of the mountain!
I'm not sure I would really want to live that close to the ledge of the cliff though. I know I wouldn't want to raise little kids in an area such as this. TFS!!

Hi Paul,
fascinating document of a late spring's cascades of melting waters, the fresh green in the foreground contrasting the deep snow in the back. Thank you!
With best regards,
Peter

Nice water fall! A bit scary to have a house near a cliff, I know mine would not be that close.... I perfer the edge, but certainly not my home! Thanks Paul! Cheers Josh Lewis.

Dear Paul;

Great shot of a waterfall, I like how the foreground is pointing up toward the subject and I like the building over the water fall thats something you don't see by waterfalls. I would like to know if you have a frame with the waterfall in the center or was there something to the right of the picture? Great compostion, great picture.

Be Blessed,

Ramin
