Travertine waterfall #1

Waterwheel Creek, dropping down from Montebello Ridge, just before entering Stevens Creek. This is ground water emerging from the limestone bedrock, leaving calcium carbonate minerals behind. This is known as a speleothem, but formed above ground and this is with cold water. If this were in a cave, it might be called a "Flow Stone" or something like that. This isn't the only Speleothem in Stevens Creek Canyon either. Have only had about half the average rainfall this year, so not much water coming over here, hope to return after some good rain.
