Gooseberry River 3

Places where you can walk on the rocks during the summer are covered by two to three feet of rushing water.

Gooseberry River

With the warm temperatures last week all of the North Shore rivers are at flood stage.

Torrents of water are cascading over the falls and streaming through the gorges creating awesome scenery for those who like to experience this spring ritual.

Upper Gooseberry Falls

As I was taking this 15 second exposure of the Upper Gooseberry Falls I didn't even notice the young man that was working his way along the edge of the cliff. He kneeled down to take a photo of the falls than moved back to look at his photo. Since my shutter was open during this time it captured him at both places that he stopped. As he was leaving he slipped on the rocks and I thought he was going to fall. When he came by me I asked him why he would go into such a dangerous place. He said he likes doing the extreme.
