We recently returned from a two week vacation that included a several days in a golf resort near Morgantown, West Virgina. While we were there, my wife took our nephew white water rafting one day, but I opted to sit out and just try to get a few photos of them as they put in and started off in their rafts. This was across the border in Pennsylvania, on the Youghiogheny River. There is a park along the river adjacent to where the rafters set in, and just upstream is the 20 foot high Ohiopyle Falls.

While I was on a viewing platform at the falls, a woman I spoke to there told me that three of her friends would be going over the falls in kayaks in the next few minutes. I turned my attention to the falls, and watched and photographed all three of them individually as they paddled through the rapids and then went over the falls. It was an interesting spectacle to watch. I shot sequences of about 25 images of each kayaker, and you can see a few of them below as each paddler went over the falls.
