I went down along the creek "shore" under the Rte 414 bridge to the other side where the DOT Right-Of-Way ends, and hopped into a little notch in the rocks right next to the middle drop, above the private property lines. The top of my head was just about level with the crest where I was standing. I found it amazing that this notch was like a "safe harbor". Wet, but easily manageable, and with a very easy and safe entrance/exit to the banks of the creek directly behind me, where it was quite dry with easy footing.. not really any more "dangerous" than one would expect a creek walk/waterfall climb would be.
This one was taken from the 414 bridge with a wide angle lens.

For me, it's not so much about getting the shot as it is the challenge of seeing how close I can safely (and legally) get to a falls, then snap a picture to say "I was there!" Safety is my primary concern while I'm out there. I've slipped and banged up a limb or ended up standing in a pool of water I was trying to skirt around, but <*knock on wood*> I've had no "major" accidents. I tend to err on the side of caution more often than not
