Here’s a High Dynamic Range (HDR) view of the 70m (230 ft) Brandywine Falls in British Columbia Canada. The falls are located a leisurely 2 hours by car from Vancouver along the Sea to Sky highway. This photo was taken on July 15 2010 using a Vivitar 7mm f/3.5 fisheye lens.

From the BC Parks web site: “No one is completely sure about how the falls got their name, but one possible explanation is that two surveyors (Jack Nelson and Bob Mollison) for the Howe Sound and Northern Railway made a wager for a bottle of brandy about who could estimate more accurately the height of the falls. When the height was actually measured with a chain it was Mollison who won the bottle of brandy and Nelson then named the falls Brandywine.”
