The lower two stages of the waterfall.
Waterfalls are seen the world over. Some are famous for their height, some for the gush of water and some for their size. Some are seen in picturesque natural surroundings and even underwater.
Niagara Falls have been viewed the most both from the American and Canadian side. Standing at the foot of the waterfall one can see either country.
This video link will take you there

It is a little known fact that there are waterfalls having the greatest heights located inside water. Here is a link that talks about it.
The Angel Falls in Venezuella indeed has a height but they are not as beautiful as for example the Niagara Falls.
This video clip takes you to Angel Falls
The Milford Sound Water fall situated in the Tasmania fjord is unique in that it is in the middle of a waterbody in New Zealand. .
Here is a great image of this waterfall

India boasts of several water falls of which the Jog Falls have a great fall specially during the monsoon season. Many have picnics there and also visit the place around which has many attractions. It could be easily compared to Niagara Falls but sadly not many visit this place

The waterfall in the featured image is the lower part at Pukekura Park, New Plymouth, New Zealand. Normally waterfalls are lit during festivals. This too was lit during a festival in that part of the country.
Of the waterfalls listed above I have enjoyed Niagara Falls, Jog Falls and the Milford Sound. The Canadian side of Niagara Falls was lit in the night and it was a spectacular view.
It needs special technique to hide the cables and even lights but just display the lighting effect.
And finally I may as well include a video clip of my own waterfall that i created in my garden. Not a great waterfall by any standards but it gave me immense joy creating it.

Wow! What a sight to behold! Love it!
This is a spectacular view oohh my God. This is a place I would love to be at and just spend the whole day there listen to the waters, feel the cool breeze am sure there are also birds in the air chimming away. Who wouldn't want to be in such a place. I like places where there is a lot of peace and quietness. While there I would go into time of meditation immediately. You know there are many falls all over the world but are probably not recognized by the world over. Like in our country we ha e quite a number in different places. I remember once when I want to one of the falls for a weekend get away, and I just loved the place. It gave me so much peace within. Though am usually told that it is not good to be too close to the barriers because it's dangerous, someone can easily fall with the force that is caused with the water. Like in Zambia where we ha e the victoria falls, it is said that when you go near it you can easily be swallowed by what only the residents and the God knows. I don't know if it's a myth but that's what the residents think.
Victoria falls swallowing people!! May be the Net can expose some facts.
At Niagara Falls we went on the Maid of the Mist Boat and we went very close to the falls and the mist of the falls fell on us.
Waterfall is the beauty of nature and the language of nature but a few know what the waterfalls say to the visitors. There are countless waterfalls all over the world but some are most fascinating for the visitors. Waterfalls are definitely the natural wonders on Earth. Visiting some of these waterfalls below might be a breathtaking experience, since they overwhelm with the stunning sight, as well as a splitting voice.
The Victoria Falls or Mosi-oa-Tunya is a gorgeous waterfall, located on the Zambia and Zimbabwe border. The water of Zambezi river falls down in a straight line for 354 ft (108 m). It is wide ( 5,604 ft/1,708 m), therefore water spray raises very high and can be spotted from many kilometers away.
Iguazu Falls are found on the border of Brazil and Argentina. Not very high (285 ft/87 m), but very impressive: it has 275 cascades, that form a horseshoe and stretch for 8858ft (2700 m).
Angel Falls is the highest in the world, which falls down uninterrupted for 3,212 ft (979 m). You can visit it in Canaima National Park, which is protected by UNESCO. It is named after its discoverer US aviator Jimmie Angel.
Kaieteur Falls is found in Guyana. Water falls for 741 ft (226 m), then it reaches the first of the many steep cascades. It attracts many tourists, who like extreme trips, since the fall is in the middle of a wilderness with no urban amenities.
Niagara Falls is probably the most famous in the world. It marks US and Canada border. Niagara is formed of two sections – the Horseshoe Falls on the Canadian side and the American Falls on the American side – that are separated by an island. The Horseshoe Falls are more impressive: water here drops 173 ft (53 m), while the American Falls drop only 70–100 ft (21–30 m).
OH MY GOD...I can watch it over and over again.
It is mesmerising. I have always been fond of waterfall but these are priceless natural beauties that any human eye will definetly appreciate.
