Thanks Matt and Angel! With all the recent rains, the falls were flowing nicely. Couldn't even take a shot from the end of the trail due to all the mist getting all over the lens. Definitely a big difference from when I was there last year!

In my current activity of trying desperately to recover my images from a hard drive crash (making progress, outlook is optimistic), I found a nifty (I think) panorama I took at the overlook above the hairpin turn of the creek above the main falls. I forgot I had stitched this together, and it turned out pretty good. Since my images of the falls themselves can't hold a candle to the ones already posted, I figured this might be of some interest.

Great job! :up: I love making panoramas like that. It might be a good idea to crop out the hand and fence on the left though.

Thanks everyone. Yeah, the hand could get cropped off without losing much. I had thought of cropping the top fence rail, but that would have left off too much.
