Making a Waterfall Meditation Video – Finding Waterfalls
.
I’ve been traveling around New England for several years now shooting video of waterfalls for my meditation series. While I sometimes upgrade my equipment (I added the olloclip lenses last year), I’ve been working with the mostly the same tools. In this first article in the series, I want to offer some advice for finding waterfalls. I’m focused on New England, but if you’re not, the World Waterfall Database listed below can point you to waterfalls and resources for any part of the world.
At the time of this writing, I’ve visited over 30 waterfalls in New England. I’ve chosen and got to them using the following three resources.
Finding Waterfalls
New England Waterfalls – a great guide to the best falls in New England. It includes a rating of the falls, best time to visit, directions, and trail instructions. I bring the book with me to all the falls. It’s worn and well loved
The World Waterfall Database a great resource for all waterfalls everywhere. There is also a great Waterfall Guidebook Library with references to almost 100 books on waterfalls around the world
Waterfalls of Massachusetts: Second Edition – includes several local falls that aren’t listed in the New England Waterfalls book
There are so many waterfalls and so little time. Use these resources to choose wisely. There are a lot of ways to approach this. Do you want an easy hike? Or are you willing to bushwhack? When can you travel? Are you looking for a big bang and you’re willing to travel or do you want to explore local treasures? The New England Waterfalls book rates all their waterfalls on these criteria and more. They also have a list in the back of the book of other falls that don’t have chapters in the book. For me, this book has been a rich resource. When searching for falls in your area, I recommend you evaluate your choices on what’s right for you.
