A smaller fall

A smaller fall

Water cutting a notch in the same basalt escarpment, on a scale nobody stops for.

The ice has built out from both sides while the middle keeps running, which is what happens when a fall is fed steadily enough not to freeze but the rock either side stays below zero. Given a colder month the two halves meet. The green under the ice on the left is moss, still going in December. It survives because the water keeps it just above freezing.

Birds, insects, plants and other wildlife, mostly from Brooklyn, with some from further afield.
