While sometimes I feature the work of professional photographers, I found these three at the linked site. Interested readers are invited to search and post their own favorites of these features, if so inclined.

Lassen Peak

Bumpass Hell

Burney Falls -- a beautiful and unique waterfall I'd never heard of before

As an example, here's another picture of Burney Falls:

And I also found this link to a Quicktime VR view of Burney Falls:

Burney Valls Panorama

Apparently, based on quick reading, the creek that goes over the falls emerges from springs in the volcanic formations in and around the park.

This place is now added to my list of places to I hope to see (and might have a chance to someday).

And of course, if you placed some sort of blockage across it, it would be named "Bumpass Hell Dam."

I hear you groaning from here.... :-)

Bumpass had chili for dinner last night.
