That mushroom that papa smurf is looking looks like the death cap mushroom also known as the flying amanita. Please don't eat the thing before you check it out well. I can not see the whole thing but I would be very carefull.

Went back to the falls yesterday and took some more pictures. This time I used the auto bracketing setting on the camera. (takes three pics in a row at different exposures) and then ran it through a program called photomatix. The results came out kind kinda neat  ;D

Looking down at the edge of the falls


Looking down into the gorge below the falls.


Then I had to go to Thunder Bay, about 20 miles away from where I live in the country and took a picture of the "Sleeping Giant"

The Sleeping Giant is a formation of mesas and sills on Sibley Peninsula which resembles a giant lying on its back when viewed from the West to North-Northwest section of Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada. As one moves southward along the shoreline toward Squaw Bay the Sleeping Giant starts to separate into its various sections. Most distinctly in the view from the cliffs at Squaw Bay the Giant appears to have an "Adam's Apple". The formation is part of Sleeping Giant Provincial Park. Its dramatic steep cliffs are among the highest in Ontario (250 m). The southernmost point is known as Thunder Cape, depicted by many early Canadian artists such as William Armstrong.

An Ojibway legend identifies the giant as Nanabijou, who was turned to stone when the secret location of a rich silver mine now known as Silver Islet was disclosed to white men.

Yes I was also looking at the D3100 but it didn't have the auto bracketing feature so it was the next camera up. The D5100 has a lot more bells and whistles than I need but it was also on sale so I went with it.
