Evening Falls ...


“Give light, and the darkness will disappear of itself.”
           ~ Desiderius Erasmus
                ~ 1466-1536
The waters of the Monocacy Creek spill into light as they cascade over the Monocacy Falls as evening falls in late November at Monocacy Park, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.

Autumn Cascade ...



"The music of the far-away summer
flutters around the autumn 
seeking its former nest."
                       ~ Rabindranath Tagore
                                ~ 1861-1941

Autumn cascades like a capricious
melody over a small waterfall on the Pequest River on a picturesque Indian Summer day in 
Belvidere, New Jersey.

The Pequest - Native American for "open land," -
tumbles down to Belvidere in a series of falls,
where it meets the mighty Delaware River,
of which it is a tributary.

Belvidere, one of my very favorite places,
is a charming Victorian town on the banks
of the Pequest and Delaware Rivers.

Morning Reverie ...


"Flowing water is at once a picture and a music,
which causes to flow at the same time from my brain,
like a limpid and murmuring rivulet, sweet thoughts,
charming reveries, and melancholy remembrances."
                                                ~ Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr
                                                                ~ 1808-1890

The waters of the Monocacy Creek spill like memories between the 
morning sun and shadows dancing on the dam - commonly called 
Monocacy Falls - on a beautiful October day at Monocacy Park,
Bethlehem, Pennsylvania in this high contrast monochrome shot.

Heaven's Rays ...


"Give light, and the darkness will disappear of itself."
                          ~ Desiderius Erasmus
                                                        ~ 1466-1536

Sun rays reach down from from heaven
to touch the Monocacy Falls, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania
after a summer rain.
