This old house is every bit as cool as it looks. It almost looks like a set out of a movie, it could not be more perfect. Finally got here on what started as a last-minute solo outing to Rowena Crest, where I ended up running into Jamey, Greg, Vinny, Dene, and many others. After an enjoyable breakfast and visit to the farmhouse, they continued onward. I headed back for some overdue sleep!

This uber-cool view is commonly seen and an obvious choice for this location. A little too wide for my wide angle lens; an extra mm or two would have been nice as 12mm wasn't enough.

I had a bit of a trade-off to make here. I would have liked to show the violent nature of the falls themselves with all of that water churning over the brink, but at the same time, get the swirlie pool of water below. In the end I went for the swirlie pool using a 64x (6-stop) ND filter.
