Thank you John buddy for featuring this shot in IMAGES THAT EXCITE YOU group. I totally love North Cheyenne Canyon where I took this shot. I spend so much time there that it's my second home. Did you ever read a classic novel titled RAMONA ? This waterfall is named after the author of that novel. Her name is Helen Hunt Jackson.
