380 views4 views Montmerency Falls just outside Quebec City. Note the even crest of the falls.A hydroelectric dam was built across thetop.

A foot bridge is located just below the falls and you can see the city from there as your walk across. For more information http://www.viator.com/Quebec-City-attractions/Montmorency-Falls-Park/d626-a966

Little Qualicum Falls-4508 viewsWhatcha think? If you like neither then I'll blame it on the ever present Sunshine.

Vancouver is know for it's cool misty climate but, we had ten straight days of brilliant sunshine. Niece for touring but tough on waterfalls photography.

Little Qualicum Falls-3507 viewsLQF-3&-4 are the same view with focal point and exposure time differences. My preference is the darker photo with the closer rocks as the focal point, rather than the falls itself.

Frenchie508 viewsWent to Normandy to pay my respect to those young men who will never grow old.

Along the river I found the only waterfall I saw on the Seine River Cruise. Unfortunately, it was small and at night.

Yeah, I know the same nation that gave us (US) the Statue Of Liberty has better waterfalls, I just did not go near one.
