Thank you for the kind words! My own time in Ithaca is about to expire, and I’m happy to have gotten a handful of nice shots while I’m here.

Stunning. How did you capture the sun through the trees effect? Was there some fog? Creative post processing?

Another user cleared that up in this comment. Turns out that although fall creek falls is shorter, there is still a bit of nuance on what is considered the tallest.

It’s thirty feet higher than Niagara. Way less volume though.

Well… the flow is so high because of the warm temperatures we have had recently causing premature and rapid snowmelt. It was over 60 degrees last week.
But yes, it truly made it spectacular to behold.

The user in this comment had some interesting points about the Tennessee waterfall.
Generally it seems that there is a significant amount of nuance (and incorrect info) regarding waterfalls on the eastern half of the United States, haha.

I believe it! I felt incredibly dumb after my own experience there. Very nearly watched a friend die there.

I don’t know what to think anymore. This has been a roller coaster!
Inspiration isn’t a single plunge, so that would make taughannock the tallest single plunge right?

I have done that a couple times. Never will again though. As I was standing as close to the waterfall as one can get, a series of rocks began falling and landing all around me. My friends and I were lucky to not get hit by any.
So yeah, the signs are there for a reason.

Yep! I corrected myself in another comment after I went to check for myself. I was trying to look up the height difference between this and Niagara and realized I was wrong!

Haha, my bad. To be fair, I also feel lied to as I’ve thought for years that taughannock was the tallest single plunge. Truth hurts I guess

I just looked it up and I was actually wrong! Yes, taughannock is taller than Niagara, but there is a waterfall in Tennessee a little taller than taughannock that has the claim of tallest single plunge.

Niagara is, but Taughannock is about 30 feet taller than Niagra (though much smaller volume).

That’s amazing. I have wanted to capture an effect like that for a while. Guess I don’t wake up early enough, haha.
