Flowing over a rock, the waterfall itself is less impressive from a distance..

I ask, what is moving water without a few grand kids in it?











Not every "pool and drop" river system has a waterslide. This one also has diving rock, leading one of the granddaughters to declare it a "water attraction" as opposed to a "waterslide". This one is famous in Algonquin, although much more famous on the Ottawa side of the park. High Falls, near Achray. Just stone throw away from the World Heritage Site, the Barron Canyon.

Well, Norm, you make it look VERY attractive.
I guess there are no sharp bits in the water slide.

A second waterslide I used to go to had a boulder come off a rock wall, right into the middle, ruining it. This one is used by probably thousands every year without incident. You can bruise your elbows, but I've never seen blood.

Falling water, but hardly a waterfall. Longer and shorter shutter speed versions of a drippy fountain. I prefer the short shutter speed version.

Sometimes less is more.
From a less than impressive waterfall, you have made an interesting image.
Well done.
