Maybe it's the steady field of negatively charged ions, maybe I simply like the aesthetics. Stalking and photographing waterfalls is my favorite way to spend leisure time. As with anything else, there are risks involved. If you choose to visit a waterfall, please use respect, sound judgement, and common sense. If you have any doubts about getting to a certain vantage point, defer to caution.
Rocks tend to be rather unforgiving.
While visiting the real thing is optimal, a cybervisit is better than never having been there at all. Waterfall hunting on the internet is my second favorite leisure pasttime. Between all of the other waterfall sites, and the tourism sites, I have managed to visit literally thousands of falls across the world. Chances are I will never have the opportunity to visit many of the countries that have multitudes of waterfalls. The opportunity to go to these faraway water- falls from the comfort of my office is very enjoyable.
