Great Falls 9-3-2012
Standing down in the dry boulder-strewn riverbed on a cold winter afternoon gives you a real sense of how broad Great Falls is when the river spreads across the ledge. With the hydro building perched up top, the whole scene feels like classic rugged northwest Connecticut history carved right into the stone over generations.
The composition captures the full tiered drop spanning the center frame, freezing individual streams as they fan out over the brown sandstone shelf into a calm pool. A foreground of dry cobbles and boulders adds solid depth leading up to the rushing whitewash and bare tree lines.
