better left unsaid

Let’s get this out of the way: this pho­to­graph is one of my favourite I’ve ever taken. There.

I hiked into these falls and had the trail and falls all to myself. The light was per­fect, bright cloudy sky fil­tered though a canopy of trees. I had shot a roll of the falls and packed up all my gear a few min­utes before tak­ing this. On my way out I crossed a small foot­bridge over the stream, looked back and saw this. I debated with myself on whether or not to unpack every­thing, load a new roll of film and shoot it. I had a hike ahead of me and was feel­ing really lazy about get­ting all my gear out again. Well, I am so happy I unpacked it all, the light was too beau­ti­ful to resist and the results speak for them­selves. The shots of this stream were the best of the day.
