Niagara Falls

7 inches wide x 7 inches high

Several years ago, I made most of this piece after visiting the Falls. Yesterday, I went back to the Falls, as I do when I can. The New York State Park is really quite beautiful. Why people go to the Canadian side, I don't know. This is a fine park, a place to sit next to the rushing water, the water that is moving so quickly that it is hard to comprehend its strength. It's just there in its standing waves, its white water, and its dark blue depths. When the sun shines, the water sparkles as though it is the happiest thing in the world. Too bad it has the history that is has. What a place.

Go.
