Nice shot. Recalling my single-digit-age childhood, there was a merry-go-round (carousel) on the VA side of the falls. Some searching suggests it was lost in a flood. Any ruins remain? (I'm referring to the type with wooden horses and calliope, not a playground device.)
I also remember the scary hike over part of the falls on the MD side, which Google maps informs me is the Olmsted Island Trail.
