Went on a waterfalls photo hike with fellow BPer and skilled photographer Ken Jarvis and caught this close up of the Tiffany Falls at full strength.
Of course, a mighty downpour the night before probably helped :-)

Beautiful ! #7530032M.Christine Duncan May 17, 2009
Thank you very much Michael, compositional elements are my strong suit- so anything that makes me slow down and really think about my technical is very beneficial to me, lol.Thank you so much Keith :-) Conditions were great for this type of shot, I was pleased!
Thanks Adam!!! Did you know that Hamilton, Ontario (where this was taken and where I live) is actually called the Waterfalls Capital Of The World? We have almost 100 falls in the area... over 40 of them very accessible to the public! Anytime you're down this way, we'll take you around!

Marisol, thanks m'dear for the great comment! I was pleased that it stormed very early that morning... the leaves and plants in the area were saturated with rain, everything was sooo green! A great day to shoot the falls!Tania, thank you so much... I'm so glad to discover your kind remark!!! #7530499

Thank you so much Debbie and Garth :-) I appreciate hearing from you both! #7541971Alan Garner May 21, 2009
Just lovely!I had no idea there were so many waterfalls around Hamilton - although it makes sense when you think about it.
My mother-in-law lives in Kitchener - maybe I will get a chance to slide over towards Hamilton on a visit to her some day.

Hi Al, thanks for the great comment! The best time to visit is before the end of June... the falls in the area can become pretty dry after that unless our summer turns out to be pretty wet... #7550060Jean Lechleiter May 26, 2009
