Elk Rapids is a small town with a population of 1707 (in 2007) located on the north-western shore of Elk Lake, where Elk River flows from Elk Lake into the Grand Traverse Bay of Lake Michigan.
This is a view down the main street of Elk Rapids, River st, and it's very tempting to write "a town where time stands still" since the town had this early 20th century feel to it. Very cozy.

Mid-week we had a day at the rapids. We started early, having packed a picnic lunch, and headed upstream to a large rapids. Depending on water level, some rapids are passable by canoe. This rapids is large, and must be portaged year round. We dropped off our lunch a bit downstream at the picnic area, then hung out up here while the staff went fishing among the rocks.
The two-hour “Shooting the Rapids” begins in the still headwaters of the Pagsanjan River. Each banca, paddled by two boatmen, can accommodate two or three passengers. The boatmen steer the banca upstream, passing narrowly between or above boulders or rocks. Depending on whether it is low or high tide, you will pass through 11 or 16 rapids before you reach the major waterfalls. At times, the boatmen have to get-off the banca, and with their bare feet, step on the boulders to push the banca upstream, maintaining balance, against a downward strong current.
Too many times we stand aside and let the waters slip away, till what we put off till tomorrow has now become today. So don't you sit upon the shoreline and say you're satisfied. Choose to chance the rapids and dare to dance the tide.”

The tide and sun rising on Kailua Beach Park in Oahu, Hawaii. I booked it out of the surf after this was snapped double-time!
I almost found the rapids above American Falls more exciting than the falls itself. It was a lot easier to get a decent photo of, too :P
You can see the Canadian city of Niagara Falls in the distance (and though the mist from the Horseshoe Falls obscures it, one of the buildings says 'CASINO' on it in olde worlde illuminated lettering.
The thing that looks like a miniature version of the CN Tower is Skylon Tower.
This was really a very exciting find for me - the wood ducks don't hang around in the open posing like this very often. I shot through a bunch of tall weeds and got lucky.
