As a boater this does indeed look like an approach to hell, and it makes me happy to be typing this from the safety of dry land! You've done a great job of capturing the raw chaotic power of water. Regards, -Najinsky

Many thanks, Paul and Olaf. Olaf: this is Niagara Falls, taken from the excursion ship that comes pretty close to the falls. I have had to wrap my camera in a plastic bag to avoid it being soaked in the water coming from the falls.
I see that you wife travelled through the place where I live, this station is about 30 km from Trondheim. Here is how it looks:

Is that Hell, Norway? My wife was on a train in Norway once, and as the train stopped at a station, she looked out the window and saw a sign at the trainstation: "Hell", while another sign read: "Gods Expedition".

I like the low angle of view and the closeness to the foamy water and the mist adds a lot of atmoshpere.

I like both your late entries but this one is my favorite. Nice capture of raw power. Paul A.
