How hard could it be??

I was asked to take a photo of the Heart-shaped Waterfall (as the name suggests, the cliff it goes over is in the shape of a heart) as part of a series on the the top scenic spots on St Helena. How hard could that be??

Well for starters it only flows at certain times, when it does flow it is often a dirty brown colour or is being blown around by the wind, and the area is often either cloudy or in bright bright harsh sunshine. To add a bit of a complication - there is only a window of about an hour each day when the light is from the right angle too. After nearly 3 months of waiting I finally got my opportunity. The sky is not fantastic, but the rest of the photo came out ok.

Photo taken while standing on the safety wall on the outside of a blind hairpin on one of the main roads into Jamestown. Luckily everyone here is pretty relaxed about things and even if they thought I was a bit mad they kept that opinion to themselves
