Please try your best to enjoy this, because it is the 1st and last time i will ever go to these falls again. This waterfall is visible from the main highway about an hour from my home town. You can just see the top section from the highway. Anyway, ive been wanting to check it out for some time now. I stopped on the side of the highway, and made my way over the fence. What seemed to look like a 5 min walk to the falls turned out to be a 1h 45 min "adventure", more like a nightmare! Bushes always look smaller from far away, lol! I battled my way through thistles and thorn bushes cutting my legs and arms to shreds!(Exaggeration). It was so bad i decided to walk back in the river! Got back to the car stinging from the scratches and soaking wet! So thats the story behind this pic. I honestly think im the only person who has ever been right to the waterfall! If anyone is out there and you have been here, then you are CRAZY! ;)

Well done waterfall shot. I think you should go back when it's frozen,LOL. waterfalls can be very hard to traverse and can be very dangerous but it's well worth it when you get a scene that not many have captured.

Glad you got a good shot out of it. I like the contrast between the water and the dark angular rocks.

Legitimate leadership flows from love. Anything less is violence incognito.

Loved the story, and couldn't help but say to myself " Now THAT'S a photographer!" It's nice to know I'm not the only 'artiste' that does this sort of stuff to himself. Ha! Great shot. Bravo!

Where we have come from has absolutely no bearing upon where we are capable of going.

Darryn...this is absolutely gorgeous! I got it in the VB and fell in love with it. This waterfall looks just magical. How beautiful the water falls! And those giant rocks.Magnificent.
I agree, I know it must have been worth the shot. Photographers do it anywhere eh?!! They MUST take the shot it seems. Lovely lovely work by you. Verena

Well I'm certainly glad you went all out for us...sometimes it's when it's the most difficult, you get the most satisfaction. There definitely satisfaction knowing you are likely one in a very few who saw the falls from this vantage point. Nicely done and Happy New Year!

Hey Daryyn this is a great capture! I am sure on the walk back you were asking yourself WHY! However it is usually the shots like this that we started taking photos in the first place! Well done and faved!! :) Steve
