I just posted a broader view.

In the spring of wet years, Yosemite Valley has many ephemeral, unnamed
waterfalls and seeps. This is what you might
call the Eastern 'shoulder' of El Capitan, so it's about 3,000' above the
floor. A small stream runs down an almost
vertical face, then goes into free fall.
When, as here, the wind catches it, it becomes largely mist that blows and
swirls around. Some parts of it are such a
mix of different drop sizes, moving in different directions, that I think it
looks like that even with motion stopped.
At this time, I don't think any of it was reaching the ground directly below at
all.
Of course I ran off into the woods looking for a clear shot without the tripod.
But the light still hadn't failed by the
time I took some stills and returned for the tripod. So I have one shaky,
hand-held video and a couple of solid ones.
They really show the movement with the wind.
