Found this waterfall almost by accident. It is only a mile down the road from the home where the reunion was held. Jim, the homeowner said that a river ran behind his property, and I wanted to see that river. He mentioned a bridge that crossed the river, and that's why I drove down the road. Imagine my surprise to find this waterfall here! I photographed the falls in color, but decided that the color added nothing to the image - you could see the form of the water and rocks better in black and white. And here is a secret. When you shoot at a normal shutter speed, like 1/125th of a second, the water is frozen, and the effect is not all that pretty. So I braced my elbows on part of the bridge and hand-held the camera with the shutter set at 1/8th of a second. Please click on this image to see it in more detail, and you will find the blurred water in the photo has a nice feeling to it.

This is amazing. I love the different levels of rocks creating the falls. I am so used to the falls behind City Hall that is one flat level ledge.
