Falls, in the Black River

I love this photograph because it is not obvious, exactly, what we are looking at.  It is a giant boulder in the middle of the Black River, with river water thundering over it.  This is downstream from the factory I showed you yesterday.  In the upper left corner you can see the regular pattern of water going over a concrete dam.  To the left of this photo, out of the frame is a Low Impact Hydropower plant where water runs down a long pipe which is descending alongside the river, then the water runs through a small hydroelectric turbine, generating electricity.  The rocks on which the dam was built are really uneven, and this one is just a part of the rocky riverbed that sticks up higher than the surrounding rock.
