The Eternal Flame Falls. The flame, embedded in a grotto behind the falls (on 18 Mile Creek) has reportedly burned for hundreds of years. The local Native Americans reportedly knew about this place and showed it ti the colonists who arrived after the Revolutionary War.
The rocks are very porous shale that contain a large amount of natural gas (methane) from decaying algae and organisms that died hundreds of millions of years ago. The area has been repeatedly flooded over millions of years and one can sea in the strata the seafloors of long gone inland seas. The high natural gas content This colossal amount of gas is also the reason for using the environmentally damaging hydraulic fracturing (fracking) to liberate the gas from between the rock layers. This area has a long history of providing natural gas. This gas seep seems to be a happy accident of nature, a fracture, perhaps caused by a small earthquake opened a small pocket of gas that has burned like a pilot light for hundreds of years.
The Native legends say that it was initially ignited by a lightning strike. Certainly plausible but probably apocryphal. In fact I I have been to the site when the flame was out and people brought lighters to reignite it. Either way it burns most of the time and as is seen in these pictures the waterfall freezes over, except for the little grotto that becomes like little temple for the flame. It is pretty neat to see it burning away while ice surrounds it and water pours over it. In fact as I am writing this it is now dark and I can imagine the faint, flickering orange glow it it must impart to the ice. It'd be fantastic to see it at night shining through and being scattered and diffracted by the ice and water. However it is a moderate hike, No real danger but it requires navigating broken ice, small tracks on frozen goat paths and scrambles over piles of trees. Probably it isn't such as safe place to hike at night..not to mention illegal. In the last few years at least three people have died trying to scale the sides of the ravine and the waterfall. People don't respect the place and decide they are going to climb the steep loose sides and lose their footing and fall to their death. Most people are not conscientious nor skilled hikers and while this isn't the hardest or most challenging hikes it does require surefooted-ness and awareness since there is a river that can be quite raging and ravine walls that seem like a climbing gym with all the roots and rock layers. The top of the ravine is about 100 feet, but as OSHA rightly points out most serious injuries and deaths are caused by falls less than 6 feet in height. Also, while "Stupid is as stupid does" ultimately rescuers then put their lives at risk to rescue these people, not to mention the high to taxpayers.
Finally speaking of the ravine it is formed where 18 Mile Creek has slowly but relentlessly sawed through the countryside and the vastly more ancient rock layers. The waves and wiggles of the river decided by the harness of the stone and the ease of movement around macro objects. The falls happens to be the edge of a glacial ledge, where bedrock was broken and heaved up by the weight of 1 mile of ice piled up upon the land. This is much like this stream's big cousin the Niagara Niagara river which flows over the Niagara Escarpment giving us Niagara Falls just north of us. Around the time if the end of the the last ice age about 10,000 years ago the creek has abraded its way through the soft shale creating the ravines that are such a feature of western NY landscapes. Particles of sand, organic matter, rocks and of course ice, pried away and dissolved by the flowing water have grain by grain chiseled away at the rock. So We don't have mountains but there are plenty of ravines...think of Watkins Glen in the finger lakes or the Gorges in Ithaca. This is one more, but with a little flame temple at the end.

One of 200 hens from a small egg farm. The farmer used a metal leg band for identification purposes. As the hens grew, the leg band did not. The farmer will not be using these again.
The hens are part of Animal Place's Rescue Ranch program in which farmed animals come to the sanctuary, are rehabilitated, and then placed into new homes.
After treatment, these hens will go onto new, loving homes.

This is slightly weird. It's a building along the footpath into Cranleigh Showground.
It looks like a wooden granary, built on anti-rat stone mushrooms, or staddle stones, but the area between the mushrooms is filled in with brick. Not so rat-proof any more.
