Powerfull waterfall

A powerful Marokopa Falls, New Zealand. The 35 m high falls are often described as the most beautiful in the country. It rained for several days in row. When I arrived to the observation point, I felt the spray of the waterfall from hundreds of meters away. With my 85mm lens I made long exposure shoots - apart of myself, my camara got wet as well. The picture shows just a small part of the Marakopa waterfall on the North Island of New Zealand and demonstrates the power of water. Even if it hits solid rock, it just spreads everywhere and wears the stone away drop by drop.
