A popular spot to visit in our part of the world is where Duchesnay Creek cascades down the rocky escarpment on the North side of Lake Nipissing.
Several ledges form pretty waterfalls and rapids in the almost 1 km trip from the top to the bottom.
This photograph was made near the end of the journey that the creek takes on its way to Nipissing.

Normally Duchesnay Falls covers her secrets with lots and lots of water.
In late Summer the water flow is often quite low and one can go places where it would be quite dangerous to attempt during most of the year.
The mystery of what causes the big waves and sprays of water is revealed when the water is low.
It is quite the novelty to stand in places that often are quite inhospitable.

Yesterday I had some free time and so I visited Duchesnay Falls.
The water is lower than the last time I was there and different photographic opportunities were presented.
It is very difficult to ignore the water rushing over the rocks, but there are many other quiet encounters.

The is also great opportunity to look for quieter spots along the side of the torrent and experience some neat stuff.
The land through which the water runs adds to the whole experience.
