Waterall cascading over a naturally formed tufa dam. The tufa results from calcium carbonate deposits gradually accumulating on mosses and water plants, creating a solid limestone structure over time. Note the Polypodium vulgare, the Common Polypody Fern {Polypodium vulgare} that has colonised a tree branch. Plitvice Lakes National Park, Croatia. November.
