Recommendation: remain on the established lakeside path and take a close head-and-shoulders selfie or ask a companion for a waist-up portrait with the illuminated waterfalls behind one shoulder. Keep back from the water and do not cross to the cliff, climb or block pedestrians.
Recommendation: use available path lighting on the face around twilight, expose for skin and retain the waterfall highlights. Night lighting and water flow may differ from this historical image; avoid flash toward other visitors.

- Historical August2024 reference. Current waterfall flow, lighting, pathconditions, hours, photography rules and permitted posingposition are unverified. Publicpromenade is established inprimaryprojectdocumentation; this doesnotconfirm currentaccess or grant cliff/waterentry. Existingmap is approximate parkarea, never camera coordinates.
- Stay on permitted pedestrian routes. Ask a companion to take the portrait rather than stepping into traffic or leaving equipment unattended.
- Get permission where required and keep other people out of frame unless they agree.
- Use the background as inspiration. The exact standing point, current access and light still need checking on arrival.
