Yet More Waterfalls!

Ok, yet one more picture of frozen waterfalls; hope you're not getting sick of them.  As you can tell, back in my able-bodied days visiting waterfalls was one of my favourite photographic pastimes.  I really enjoyed the challenge of getting a good picture.

This first one is Walters Falls, at the site of the old Walter Falls Sawmill.  That burned down years ago, so the only features left are the straight channel above the falls and the big pipe that carried water to the mill.  The falls is now split into two streams by a large piece of the escarpment bedrock.
 
And this is the falls in the summer.  On one visit with our little photo group, we had a member who knew their way to the bottom of the falls.  It turned out to be quite easy, and we got some interesting pictures down there, looking up at the falls..

This is the smaller Webwood Falls, on a property donated to the Bruce Trail Conservancy, and also the site of an old mill, though little remains of it today.

And this is the same falls in the summer, a beautiful little waterfalls viewed through the trees.

Finally, how's this for a tumbling waterfall?  And yes, the water does flow right underneath that ski chalet before tumbling down this long slope.  You'd never get permission for that today!  

Sorry to go on about waterfalls so much, but I really loved my times chasing them for pictures.  The pictures I've shown you represent at least 15 different excursions with my camera for me.

  2. Don't apologize for sharing the photos of the waterfalls and other adventures you've had. The photos are amazing and learning that there are so many in your area is something I would never have known.
    Besides, sharing memories is how we keep them alive.

  8. Never do I get sick of seeing nice photos of waterfalls. I've taken my fair share of waterfall images but can no longer get to some I'd like to photograph.

  9. I like waterfalls, and will happily read all your waterfall adventures, but to be honest I prefer flat water. The Swiss lakes and the wonderful Belle Époque are just beautiful. I would send you photos if I could.

  10. Webwood falls in the summer...That is a gorgeous shot. It would be very noisy at the ski chalet, especially in the spring!
