Frenchie2337 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.

Little Qualicum Falls-32261 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.

Created by God, Engineered by Man1748 viewsChute de la Chaudière , a waterfall with a dam built across the top. You will see why I use this photo several times on this web site.

From the ffot bridge below the falls one can look down into the city.

Little Qualicum Falls-42341 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.
