Liquid energy …

Water is quite an amazing substance. Two little atoms, hydrogen and oxygen, bonded together, form a unique substance that sustains the planet. Truly remarkable, when you think about it. And while a mere droplet of dew clinging to a blade of grass seems so delicate, so innocent; put enough of those droplets together and you have one of the most powerful forces on earth, capable of producing enough power to operate a city or create devastation on a massive basis. This photograph of the underside of Niagara Falls offers just a hint of that sweeping power. In addition to the view of the falls this image offers, my hope is that it evokes the deafening roar of the water as it pours over the precipice and pounds the dark rocks below. If you’ve been there, you know what I mean. If not, it’s really something to see. Hope you enjoy…
