    Wonderful detail, texture and nuance; I like the dissonance of angles. Hard to believe this is just outside New York!

    Ditto on Thom’s visual comments! I can almost hear the water rushing down the rocks on this photo, Ellen. Well done!

    There is so much to love about this photo, mainly due to the angle it was captured. The perpendicular and rushing falls, one behind the other; the lingering snow; and the varied textures of the subject matter.

    What a stunning photo! The word that came to mind is “power,” seen in the water, rock, and steel.

    Fabulous framing!

    The mighty waterfall’s thrust
    In nature’s otherwise hush.
    What a rush!

    Love the pairing of structure/industry and nature in this photo – the bridge almost makes the waterfall that much more special. Must go find this place! Great shot!

    Such a contrast of the beauty of the falls with the bridge in front and buildings behind. It makes for a very interesting photo.
    It reminds me of High Falls in Rochester NY and they have a beautiful falls right in the middle of a mostly industrial area.

    Carolyn, these falls too are right in the middle of an industrial area. In fact, I read that Paterson was America’s first planned industrial city.

    Since I live close to the Great Falls, I can appreciate the unique angle at which you made this photo. The metal bridge struts overpower the magnificent falls behind them; an essay on the constant tension between the power of nature and industry.
