Story:
The plan was to visit the Marmore waterfall, which is one of the highest man-made waterfalls in Italy. It is the outflow of a Hydro Electric power plant, so it operates on certain hours of the day, time at which you can see the waterfall.

I had to make sure that for 2 hours I could take photographs from all angles before it stopped, so I rush down the trail to the bottom. The strong water mist made my camera inoperative temporally; however, I was able to take these images before it stopped working.
