I've been on the lookout for interesting hashtags to follow and participate in related to my interests such as photography, generative art, music, etc. Something like #WaterfallWednesday would involve mining my archives, and I'd run out before long unless I got out to some of the local ones. I suppose maybe that's the point. Anyways, here is a cool waterfall I found deep in a side canyon on my self-supported Grand Canyon rafting expedition in January of 2015.

A portrait orientation landscape photo of red sandstone cliffs leading up up and up higher. It is deep in the Grand Canyon. There are some small shrubs on the lower portions where it is damp, but it is very arid further up away from the river. A bit of blue sky is seen above, and a small waterfall is pouring down in the middle of the frame into a cold, surprisingly deep pool that will work its way down to the main flow of the Colorado River. There are some precariously stacked boulders at the top and side of the falls. It's humbling and a bit concerning to think about the intense flows that must have been required to move those into place. Also, about how there are probably very few people on the planet who have seen this waterfall due to how it is both extremely difficult to access and not notable enough for anyone to seek it out specifically. This was shot handheld with a Fujifilm X-T1 and an XF 18-55 lens at 20mm, f22, 1/8s, and ISO400. Yeah, I accidentally bumped the aperture ring off of automatic, so it's got more depth of field than I probably needed, and a bit more diffraction noise than average, but it actually looks pretty good printed large, as I gifted a framed print to my cousin.

@Metamere Two other photography hashtags I've seen around are #FensterFreitag (German for "window Friday") which is limited to, as one might expect, photographs of windows, posted on Fridays; and #SilentSunday, which are posted on Sundays, and, as far as I can tell, is focused on quiet, contemplative scenes, usually landscapes. That might suit you better.

@Metamere I think @FediTips published a long list a week or so ago? Lots of niche photography hashtags around including #Bloomscrolling and #Mosstodon

@FediTips
I managed to find the list last night after some digging (along with lots of other useful stuff). There are plenty of interesting hashtags in there to explore. Thanks for sharing!
And thanks @FediTips for all that you do.
