Terrific images. I love that they are all such different images of the same general area.

Thank you, Brett. I enjoyed collecting them. I’m currently researching for a new novel which will be set in the early to mid 1800s during the timber boom. I’d read that the falls look much different today than they did originally. This is due to manmade changes. I thought that sourcing artwork might give me a feel for the lay of the land.

Great images Gwen, I love the third one with the trees and the wild water, very atmospheric.

Wonderful! My next novel will be set in this general area. It would be interesting to visit there and take photos from the same perspective.
