Takakkaw Falls, Yoho NP
One of the highlights of our Canadian trip this summer was Takakkaw Falls. I had never even heard of them until I read Darwin Wigget's Canadian Rockies guide book. Thanks to Darwin's expertise we showed up in the evening hoping to get some good light on these spectacular falls. I had scouted the area the night before but the light then was awful. I wanted to get into the stream near the falls so I had my waders and rain gear on. Crossing the bridge it looked like conditions were going to be good. I was not disappointed. Go here for a view closer to the falls. All comments welcome.>=))>

Dramatic falls, Bill. The detail in this image is super. Looking foward to more images.

Great detail, Bill. You captured the power of the falls well, IMO. It sounds like conditions were a bit rough :).

Spectacular scene from this vantage point Bill. I liked the close up of the other on ESS and I know it was more work but I think I may actually prefer this one. It's a beautiful shot and I like that brdge in it for the scale it provides.
