Just now getting to post these.
I freely admit sketching water is not my forte, so I quickly moved on to the 2nd sketch,
the tree near the base of the falls.

Reference photos for these sketches can be found on an amazing motorcycle ride report:

A young couple from Estonia took a motorcycle trip around the world. It took them several years, and they kept a blog on the Adventure riders website. Margus and Karlina traveled 170,000 km over 1,126 days, and traveled through 70 countries. The photographs are what dazzled me – the quality, and the content – they have fantastic images of people, places and things they encountered. I do not presume that my sketches are anywhere close to the quality of their photos, just that I was touched by them. So, here are a couple – just a start. I received their permission to post these.
If you have some time, stop by and read their report – you won’t be bored!

Not sure of these locations exactly – From a friend’s photo taken during his 3 week motorcycle ride out west. He has the best pictures, posted here: <a href=”http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=701959&page=5″ rel=”nofollow”>www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=701959&page=4</a> so his friends back home could follow his adventures.
Of course I had to try out my new journal, so I did a few sketches from a very busy, fun and wonderful day!
