Kakabeka Falls, Circa 1960

The energy of the falls is strongly felt. Very nice angle/triangle of fence and bridge which are "framing " the sight. Where is their location ? never heard this name.....

 

BTW, nice new bio pic....;-))

This falls is located a bit north of Thunder Bay, Ontario. Google Earth should take you right to it. It is commonly known as the "Niagara" of the north & yes, the water flow is impressive. Keep in mind that this was taken around 1960 so the water flow, possibly due to global warming, could have changed since then.

Hi Len - I love it and I can't believe we have the exact same photo (except 30+ years apart). The only structural change is to the walkway but the falls remain the same. I would love a copy of this photo...!

Yours actually shows trees growing on top of the rock in the center of the falls. Must be a reduced water flow for the past few years for that to happen. Check your email. I've sent you a message. When you reply to me directly I'll send a file as large as you would like. Best, LM

Len, you have captured the raw force and beauty of Nature.I like the composition,exposure & tone. Your bio-pic reflects your dignified and charming personality.

A.K. This one was taken when I was a mere lad of about 20. Looks like we've both stood the test of time OK. :-) As for the bio photo, the photographer (my 6yr old grandson) just makes me beam. Coffee & donuts have a similar effect. Thanks for taking the time. Best, LM.

The merit of this almost 50 year old shot surfaces when compared to

Christine Andrews' 2008 photo ( you'll have to dig a bit to see them

both) taken from about the same location. Comments\critiques invited.

Best, LM.

I am with you on this B&W photography now after I knew better. I tried this in the mid 80's ,my first Konica fisheye camera.Now,it's easy to convert due to the

digital technology and thanks to computers too.

 

Good capture.I wish the fence was not there.

 

Thanks for sharing...

Thanks for responding. Yes, if you look at enough photos here on PN you are bound to broaden your horizons. I'd like to get back to more B&W film photography too. Need some basic equipment first though. The fence you mention probably ISN'T there anymore. :-) But I know what you meant. Best, LM.

A spectacular and very interesting shot, Len..! ( I saw the color image as well, in Christine's landscapes, and yes, = very nice to compare the 2 photos) What I like best in your photo is the perceived grand scale of the fall, ( which is also being emphasized by the 2 people high up, left in your picture) as well as the nice B&W tonal range. The water flow is impressive indeed. Best, Marjolein

Ah, you had to dig deep to come up with this one.  Hope your shovel & back are still in good shape.  This is one of my old favourites of 'Niagara-of-the-North', Kakabeca Falls.  I was lucky to be able to include people for scale.  I feel it's stood the test of time very well and is good to use as comparison to any image taken today.  Luck also figured in the volume of water.  Must have been after a good rain as this doesn't appear to be early spring runoff.  I do admit to a little Photoshop hanky panky in order to tone down the highlights in the water.  Thanks for taking the time.  Most appreciated.  Best, LM.
