Sometimes I don't always get the desired effect from my camera. The sun was bright and so the shutter speed was extremely fast (1/400th of a second) when I shot this picture. The result is a bit surreal: Catherine appears to just be sitting on near-vertical rock. The rope in the foreground is being weighted by the flow of the river over the next falls; Catherine isn't holding the rope, but it sort of looks like she is. Catherine is in fact sliding down the rock into the third teacup.
