[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Rhine Falls are the largest plain waterfalls in Europe (Webcamera).

The falls are located on the High Rhine between the municipalities of Neuhausen am Rheinfall and Laufen-Uhwiesen, near the town of Schaffhausen in northern Switzerland, between the cantons of Schaffhausen and Zürich. They are 150 m (450 ft) wide and 23 m (75 ft) high. In the winter months, the average water flow is 250 m³/s, while in the summer, the average water flow is 700 m³/s. The highest flow ever measured was 1,250 m³/s in 1965; and the lowest, 95 m³/s in 1921.

The falls cannot be climbed by fish, except by eels that are able to worm their way up over the rocks.

Wow... the small figures climbing the rock and the houses across the falls give this image a very good sense of scale Alex.
This is what I missed with the other images of this waterfall.
A real nice view you grant us here. Lovely colors and a nice mist from the water blurring the view a bit.
:-) nice one!

Cheers,
Anneke

Bonjour Sasha
Not very easy to shoot the Rhine Falls if my memories are good.The pov is very good ; I should have liked more sharpness on the fg but maybe is it due to foam.
Have a nice sunday
Henri
