I'm really not trying to hog this forum, but I have been taking lots of pictures.

This one is in Telluride, CO, at the end of the box canyon in which the town is situated. The building was originally a power generating station for nearby mines. After the mines were closed, the building was vacant for many years. Eventually, it was purchased and restored as a private residence. In fact, I saw it on the HGTV program "America's Most Unusual Homes" once. The waterfall is among the highest in the state, nearly 400 feet.

Stan, you have some beautiful locations around you man :-)
Nice pic !
What shutter speed did you use ? When I tired waterfalls I found that a slow shutter gives cool effect on flowing water, however if the flow is fast or shutter too slow, water something like frozen milk in pics :-) Not very pretty...

Thanks, Raj. I wasn't trying to blur this waterfall, so I used 1/200 second shutter speed. When i want blur, I go for 1/2 second to a full second. BTW, I'm traveling all over this summer. This scenery isn't near my home.
