Cohoes Falls - Remnants of Frances

While I wasn't wishing for enough rain from the remnants of Frances to cause flooding in my area, I was hoping for enough to result in some dramatic water coming over Cohoes Falls. The local area received just under 2 1/2 inches of rain with lesser amounts in the Mohawk river valley to the west. Higher amounts of rainfall occurred to the south and east, which wouldn't effect the falls.

But, compared to the usual dry weather trickle coming over the falls, there was a lot of water. These shots were made in the early afternoon after a night and morning of rain. I checked the following morning and the flow was back down to normal.

Here are some examples made with the 5D Mark III and EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM lens. The first image was made the day before the rain for comparison purposes.
