Shooting the Falls

I was just taking some photos of the Englishman River Falls when this happened, so you just never know what you might find in your viewfinder....
They were two young and foolish men having the time of their lives taking turns going over the falls, what a hoot they were. When I said I missed the first one going over he just went back and did it all over again.....the water was freezing

Dangerous, maybe, but when you are young it is the time of your life! I've done this in a canoe and kayak and would do it again now but I'd probably kill myself trying......I'm just reliving old memories from your two shots! Thanks so much and a spectacular capture!
