If you’ve ever stood at the base of the falls you know how wet you can get. Well… i got about that wet. In about a 10 minute period I went from walking around in the warm evening air to being freezing and wet at the base of the falls.

Being the end of the day there was really no one there except for me and a couple of other photographers. They all had those fancy fitted weather covers wrapped around their large digital cameras. I had a fancy cover too, it’s called my jacket. I’ve used it before to great effect but it didn’t seem to work so well in the gusty mist that exists at the base of the falls.

I left the falls freezing cold and soaking wet, shortly thereafter making the 4 hour drive back to San Francisco.
