This is Grindstone Falls. It is also known as Waterdown Falls, Great Falls and Smokey Hollow Falls. Why can't waterfalls just have one name? I was here a couple of months ago and the flow was substantial - too misty to get this shot or survive trying too. As a result, I re-visited a couple of weeks ago when the flow subsided. I chose this crop due to white sky above the falls and viewing platform in upper right area. Cloned a few dead branches hanging down against the gorge wall in the upper left. This is another of the Niagara Escarpment waterfalls near Hamilton, Ontario.
While shooting here I could not get over the rotten stench I kept smelling periodically. As it turned out a dead white-tailed deer was among the rocks on the far bank. I presumed it got caught in the river, over went over the falls and drowned when the river was flowing so dangerously.
