This is a privately owned location that the folks generously share with visitors. All they ask is for people to keep it clean and, so far each time I visit, it appears that the request is honored. I’ve never found even a small bit of litter here.

For years I’d see others include swirls in their photographs and didn’t desire to make my own. That’s changed and I am glad you liked this, Liz. 🙂

Have you shown or given the landowners any of the pictures you’ve taken there?

Bet the owners would love copies of these, especially the second one. It’s great that visitors treat the place with the respect it deserves – wish that was true everywhere!

I agree. Especially during this pandemic the litter is literally piling up in places. I’ll knock on their door one of these days.

Yes it is nice to see that. I visit a lot of waterfalls and most are littered to some degree. Thanks, Jane!

The way three sides of the swirl are ‘pulled’ a little brought to mind the art of the ‘God’s Eye.’ I found these extraordinary examples of the technique. It’s a far cry from our Popsicle sticks and yarn art.

Yeah, those are a cut above our primitive efforts. Thanks for the link. In a way, his weavings remind me of Tantric mandalas.
