Downhill -III
fairly close to the creek now and the clambering is a bit tricky with gnarled boulders and slag and also some slippery mud in-between
Downhill - II
with these 'down the hill' photos you can easily see the long metal pipe, built in the 30s I think, to guide the water through turbines to generate electricity - although these falls have been in use as an energy source since the late 1700 hundreds, the pipe seems to be the last remaining venture
Downhill
- well actually this is just the lead in photograph of the top of the hill - see the boulders give way to the tree line across the creek - before I start the mostly easy down hill to the creek
Shelter
In the previous post (Walking in the adjoining woods) I had headed into the wood along a higher, somewhat easier for the old fellow to travel, trail of sorts to head down the rocky laden creeks edge for some already displayed up - and down - stream photographs. The third photo in that series shows some attempts at roofing in one of the larger gaps in this large boulder. I took these closer pics to give a little detail. I am sure this was done by young boys playing woodsman like I had done in my youth in another less rocky wood. Glad to see that digital games have not completely done in the outdoor appeal that seems to be bred in our genes.
Gilpin's Falls From Below
nice shot from below the falls but before the steeper pitch behind me as I shoot, and gives a nice take on the level stoned area surrounding the large metal pipe that diverts the water to powering the electrical station some many years ago
Lucked Out - II
I had driven back to the covered bridge this sunny Saturday because when shooting there yesterday in the rain I unluckily had forgotten my photo card and was only able to get perhaps ten photos in memory. Today I looked upstream to see if perchance there might be the flock of Wood Duck again but all I saw was the log across the creek with tangles in the sparse branches. Luckily on closer inspection of the photo in Picasa there they were, a male and a female perched on the log - and with some other duck just behind them in the water.
Thursday, Up River In The Rain
The North East River - down at the 'Old Wharf' is how I think about the location in my mind, but it is down the street next to St. Mary Annes Episcopal Church. The upper photo is shot looking across the cemetery and northward up the river. Directly across the river this eagle was perched high in one of the marsh trees - and evidently didn't like me pointing my camera toward him for he soon flew away.
Streets of New York
The gang is middle fore-ground, four in a row - Karelyn, Carol, Jen, and Calum's face looking back at us
