This tree has sadly fallen over since I took this image, but, to think of how incredible this tree was when it was alive, before it was hollowed out by a fire. At its death, the tree was over 1.5m in diameter! That's thick!

@michaelrussell You may recognize this as MacDonald Falls... I returned a year later and tried to take the same shot in summer and noped out at the fear of falling on the second go.
@toddz aha and that reminds me of a time I got scolded strongly for doing this once as well ahaha.
Thank you random parent by-standers for speaking out... I hope to pass along your fearful angry voice to other children someday for being stupid.
Really am lucky. Would be amazing to know all the "almost" times I've injured my self.
@tuneJabber And this was one of the safe ones 
A different one I strapped myself to a tree and leaned over to take a shot. It didn't turn out... and I won't be trying that again. I tried similar shots on about 6 other waterfalls.
The Pit (2020)
This image sparked a series of attempts to create #Waterfall images taken from the tops of #Waterfalls - a pursuite I quickly abandoned after realizing how incredibly dangerous it was.
For this shot, I sat with my rear on dry rock, feet dangling over the edge. My camera on a tripod, leaning over the 30m drop, strap around my neck as a counter balance...
Gotta be young and stupid to be old and wise.
