Cotton Hollow, Glastonbury, Connecticut, USA. Remnants of the dam that provided power to a large cotton mill in the 1800s provides little impedance to the Roaring Brook as it flows over the smooth rocks of a natural spillway. Fortunately, the water flow was not too strong, so several rocks were above the flow, allowing me to get out in the brook for several shots, including this one. Enjoy the autumn day!

I like the scene Thad very nicely done; there is some nice gold color in that area.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

Cotton Hollow looks better then many of the polyester ones around these parts Thad. Colors are soft and smooth. Now if they don't shrink we will have it made.
Lighting is really good.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
