The breathtaking power and rumble of water rushed past me and tumbled further down the rocky basin, as I took in this beautiful scene on a hot July afternoon. The jagged rocks were contrasted by the liquid that danced so effortlessly as it crashed towards its destiny. Amongst this controlled mayhem, I found a calm white noise that soothed the senses. I could spend hours here, sitting on a lawn chair, staring into the sky with this as my background chatter. This was one of the beautiful landmarks and wonders of our western landscape that we witnessed for my wife's birthday. Take the opportunity to see Bow Falls when you visit Banff.
