Mamore Waterfalls, built by the Romans

 
Okay, so I have never seen a huge waterfall before, so this is great!  What is greater is that it is man made and is "turned on" and "off" for the morning time only, built by the Romans to operate as needed.  Built in 271 BC

 
There are multiple paths around and upward.  Around every bend is a different photo opportunity. 
 

 
Of course the higher and closer you go, the wetter you get.  And there is a cooling wind by them force of the water itself.
 

 
The top height feet is 541.  There are many sub sections and movements working their way down, including an area for a short distance rafting. 

 
I was exhausted reaching up so high as to look back down where my photos began.  I got off trail returning back and ended up in what seemed like the belly of area, with high rock formations and dense green around me, and now close enough to the rafters.  I did not take much time, but to hurry my way back to familiarity.
