Grey and Bruce waterfalls
by Sylvain Champagne
Good healthcare starts
early and lasts a lifetime.
For a while, it seemed as if everyone I met in Southampton
said something along the lines of: “You must photograph
the beauty of the waterfalls in the area.” So I started
mapping what I thought were the six best waterfalls in
the area and ventured out to explore them.
We started with Sauble Falls. I was amazed how these
falls and rapids flow under the main highway. When we
arrived at the falls it was raining, but the photographs
were worth the risk of getting a bit damp. We saw a
great blue heron bathing and having a great time looking
around. It was a picture-perfect moment.
After I visited the falls I decided to explore Sauble Beach,
the second-longest freshwater beach in Canada. Again, I
was lucky. There was no one on the beach when I arrived,
so I decided to take my drone and get an aerial shot.
I heard lots of talk about Indian Falls from photographers
I met over the years. They told me it’s challenging to get
there, but worth the hike. The waterfall is 15 metres high,
and situated in a conservation area near Owen Sound.
This trail was definitely challenging due to the weather,
but it was worth the effort.
We then went to Inglis Falls, south of Owen Sound,
perhaps the best-known waterfall in the area. I must say,
the 18-metre falls really impressed us. The problem was,
we needed to find a place to shoot that allowed me to
demonstrate the beauty of the falls from its base to its
apex. We did, and it was all worth it.
