Down here in jersey, we call it "cedar water". Mostly likely, it is aslo called the same there too. It originates from bogs and swamps where there are stands of cedar trees and there is a whole chemical thing for why it happens that's too deep to get into in this forum. But anyway, there you have it. Some call it tea water and where the acids are a bit stronger, it kinda looks like birch beer.

Thanks ... something I had not heard before! Quite interesting :-)

Whatever it is, it works well. The streaks in the falling water really add to it. Did you try different shutter speeds to capture more FG detail?

I did ... but this was hand held and about as slow as I could go. I took some faster with more DOF, compositions with different focal lengths, etc. ... but of maybe 5 shots this was the only one I was happy with. (My tripod was at home ...). Thanks for commenting :-)

Yep, it's the cedar trees. Many of the rivers where I live are like this.
