This is an older image that I've been saving for some hot weather. Since it was 93 and humid yesterday with the same in store for today, I figured that maybe the time was right!

I guess this proves that waterfalls are more than just "pretty" subject matter. In a pinch, they also seem to work well as personal cooling systems. My eye has always been drawn to the guy in the pinkish shirt who's actually standing "in" the waterfall. I'm guessing that this would be a tad more dangerous after heavy rains......
