She had always wanted to visit Iceland. As a photographer, she knew that some of the most amazing pictures could be taken there and she made her living selling her photos. She had been in Iceland for several days and had taken incredible pictures. She had a day trip planned to Gullfoss Falls today, an amazing waterfall.
The tour group arrived at The Falls. As they walked toward The Falls, she was mesmerized because you can’t see the edge. It looks like the Hvita River just vanishes into the earth. She just started snapping pictures. All she could think about was that she could sell these pictures in the U.S. She and some other members of the group got closer. They called to her not to get too close. She had to get this last shot. But she slipped and tumbled over the rocks into the canyon.

Oh, dear. I often see people close to the edge of a canyon or waterfall or…. and hope this doesn’t happen. Well told.

Oh! that was bad, very bad indeed. There is a lot of danger around a waterfall, don’t we all know that. Good piece of writing despite the slightly depressing end.
