I have a moving water fixation, especially waterfalls. I am often to be found standing around or in rivers. I live in the wettest region of England so have plenty of opportunities to photograph water. I will try and re-visit this location in Autumn when the foliage looks better, the difficulty is predicting the waterflow, too little and the image has no drama, too much and, in this case, it is impossible to get into position without getting very wet.

Holy smokes, that's really cool. There's "something" about it that I cannot put my finger on. Very deep. Especially the upper & middle part of the falls which then knocks you over at the bottom. Kind of like one of those surreal Dutch Golden Age paintings. I like the foliage.
 
I would also like to add (per Gloomy1's opening sentence)... that many of us are sometimes concerned about our "fixations" and that maybe we need to branch-out and pursue other subject matter. Nonsense! If there is an attraction to a specific environment -- a place where we like to "be" as part of the photo experience -- that's a good thing. Fire away! I like the smell of creosote (railroad ties) and the associated sights/sounds. LOL. It's nice when you see a forum post and you "kinda have an idea" of what might be presented... based on "who" is behind it. That's fun. And yes, variety is also the spice of life.
