Rooftopping Nature

While rooftopping in urban centres has exploded over the last couple of years, people have been doing essentially the same thing in natural settings for many years.  This hiking trail on Manitoulin Island provided fantastic views while giving you an experience and feeling that's very similar to being parched high atop a roof of a skyscraper.

Autumn Waterfalls

We've been meaning to do a day trip to photograph some local waterfalls for quite some time.  Given that it's the tail end of fall colours season, we decided to do that trip last weekend.

We left home at about 8:30am in the morning and visited the following:

• Hilton Falls
• Darnley Cascade
• Webster's Falls
• Albion Falls
• Buttermilk Falls
• Felker's Falls

It was a pretty good trip and we managed to get some pretty decent shots along the way.  Some I think will even be worth printing. The highlights were the ruins of the Grist Mill at the Darnley Cascade along with Webster's and Albion Falls.

The most frustrating part of this outing?  Goddamn. People. Meandering. Everywhere.  I can't say how bloody annoying it is to have some oblivious idiots parade right in front of a set up tripod and camera.  Especially after you've spent 10-15 minutes waiting until people cleared out enough to actually take a few shots.  Ugh.  Alas, it was still worth it!
