  1. Yep that’s the upper perch on the waterfall. Today the Coxing is a raging little river, reminiscent in its glory days of helping glacial meltoff get to the sea.

  2. well said stell, yes – the sound of it is glorious. I do wish I could smell the air….alllmost….

  3. wow — those top two photos: is that the rock we’ve hung out on??? wish i could have seen this in person. impressive.

  4. Oh yeah, I can hear the roar of the water as well! Good one, Stelli — neat thought. Like yourself, I also loved hearing rain as background sound to the podcast last night. The podcast was a lovely surprise on the blog, after coming home in the early hours of the morning. I enjoyed the pilot episode and look forward to the ensuing project unfold, for our listening pleasure.

    That’s a super shot Eric, along with the other photographs of the storm in your post below. It’s like being right there, watching and listening and feeling the rush of the stormy waters hurtle downwards, round rocks and over vegetation. The power of nature. Now that’s what I call sexy 😉 — along with some new dreams of working an Austrian Scythe in Wilson, Wisconsin! Heart out to SiS and B.C. for presenting me with an enthralling new experience to try out someday!
