Awesome is an understatement here
Back view of falls (objects appear further away than they are)
Falls roaring
Origin of water comes from high upon the extinct volcano during rain
The sound escalates as the first basin fills up and then roars into the final decent into the sea
Close to the top of over a 100 foot drop into the basin
The sound of water, white noise, is like that of a tornado
Intensity sometimes escalates and after the rain subsides, continues until all water has fallen off the mountain
Damn, that's good sleeping noise for a sailor
