The vacation - beautiful scenery, part 2

I never realized how fascinated I was with waterfalls/cascades/falls - whatever you wanna call them. I always thought of them as beautiful forces of nature but didn't have a clue what an exhilarating experience is it to stand so close to one of them.
The following pictures depict the Glen Ellis Falls in the White Mountains, NH.
To stand at the top and watch and hear the water cascade down at rapid speed was exciting but nothing beats the feeling of actually standing right in front of the water, seeing it rush towards you from high up, hearing it louder and louder in your ears.

Both my poor cameras (video and SLR) had to bear the brunt of the water, I knew no shame. I aimed the lenses at the raging water and in less than a second the vision on both cameras was blurred by waterdrops. Granted, not the best thing to do to expensive camera equipment but honestly, at that particular moment I was so ridiculously happy that I figured if it's the last thing I do, I'll have keepsakes of that memory (see my manic grin in the last picture). Enjoy the pics, more coming tomorrow... :-)
