Considering my fear of heights (I can’t even watch a film of a cliff face), my fascination with waterfalls intrigues me. There is something about the descent of all that water that just amazes me.
Maybe it’s the power. Maybe it’s the freedom. I know there’s a thrill.
The following photos were taken in a variety of locations, including British Columbia, Costa Rica and Las Vegas.
-
- The nightly volcano show is something to behold
-
- The combination of fire and water is astounding
-
- After a lengthy hike, the mild spray coming off the falls was refreshing (Costa Rica)
-
- To come through a sweltering jungle and see this was amazing (Costa Rica)
-
- The descent wasn’t very long, but way the falls sculpted the rockface was dramatic (Costa Rica)
-
- The power of the churning is amazing (Costa Rica)
-
- Moments after this photo was taken, he and the photographer braved the crushing waters behind him (Costa Rica)
-
- A little downstream of the La Fortuna falls, a few swimmers relaxed (Costa Rica)
-
- The water at its based washed trees and rocks downstream (British Columbia)
-
- I love the way the moving water forms a veil in my camera (British Columbia)
-
- Unlike the other falls, this one was more diffuse with water spewing from cracks and crevices throughout the rock face (British Columbia)

A beautiful series of images! And I too have a fear of heights…and spiders!
Thanks.
There is a scene in the movie Skyfall where Bond is fighting someone in a skyscraper and they blow out the floor-to-ceiling window…they then move the fight to the ledge, at which point I let the music tell me when I could look again. (Nausea does not belong in a movie theatre.)
As to the spiders, you’ll love some of my other photo posts, as well as some future ones. I have a fascination with the websters, although am in no hurry to have one crawl on me.
