Here are another couple of images from what is one of my favorite places to repeatedly visit. The water flows change and the time of year allows for a different feeling to the place. Whatever the feeling, it always has a component of peace and a respite from the busy world that is just a short but unheard distance away. The brook is situated in a carved out area and surrounded by elevations so the sound of the water “drowns” out all noise.

The first image shows a small waterfall, possibly all of four feet tall, but resounding enough as it hits a deep pool below that it is easily heard from above on the trail in from Quabbin’s Gate 15.
The brook tumbles along over many rocks and around bends and I found one rock that I thought had a lot of interest on its own. It is obviously well-wedged into the spot and has a nice covering of moss. I enjoyed the flow of the water around this nice egg-shaped boulder.
At one time, this brook was dammed but the water now flows freely past its abandoned remnants and continues its way into the reservoir below.
That is a great shot Steve. I love the color, the composition, the sort of great C curve than runs upper left down to the lower right. Everything works.

Beautiful cascades in both images, Steve. I think what sends these images over the top are the intensity of the greens…so beautiful!
