Yes Carolyn we did go further in and stand in the spray and got a complete circular rainbow around my wife – but too wet to take a photo :-(
Looks like an ogre in the cliff is guarding the waterfall! Lovely place, lovely picture.
What a lovely place and to have caught the Rainbows as well. Did you go and stand in it? Thanks Ian.(:~)
