Roaring Brook Falls is Connecticut's highest single drop waterfall. The waterfall is 80 feet. The waterfall is longer than pictured here. I had to take it in 3 sections because I had to use my 50 mm prime because for some bizarre reason I bought my polarizer filter for this lens. LOL Hopefully at some point I can stitch them together.
If anyone would like to visit these falls, OMG, I hope you are in good shape. I took the path that led to the left side of the falls and that path was straight up. I got to a point that I could barely put one foot in front of the other. LOL My husband came along with me and he chose to wait at the bottom. That is a good thing because he doesn't like heights and I had to photograph this from an extremely steep bank. I believe it is a gorge cut out from the Ice Age. A photo just does not do justice for this magnificent waterfall. I will definitely go back and I expect in the Autumn this will be even more beautiful.
"Arrowheads tell of early men who hunted the woodlands and fished the watercourse of what came to be known as Roaring Brook on West Mountain (southern extension of Peck Mountain) in Cheshire. Foundation stones tell of an old mill powered by the falling water of this stream. Tumble-down rock walls tell of early farmers. Cedar stumps tell of former pastures now overgrown with encroached forest. Earlier Cheshire residents could tell of coaches and buggies that brought holiday visitors to view the impressive 80-foot, aptly named, cascades that in flood can be heard a mile away.
For many years benevolent stewardship of this natural area was in private hands. Then came a time when possible fragmentation threatened to alter the character of the area. But this threat also provided an opportunity for a portion of the area to be taken into the public domain. Recognizing this opportunity, the Cheshire Land Trust enthusiastically sought and received support from local residents, town officials, students, and civic groups. It contributed funds of its own and catalyzed the acquisition of other resources from two local garden clubs. Significant gifts were received from Lawrence Copeland (owner of the property) and the George Dudley Seymour Trust, the Town of Cheshire, through its Parks and Recreation Department, shared further funding with the federal Heritage Conservation and Recreation Services, and so the natural area of Roaring Brook became a town-owned facility on December 7, 1978.
The watercourse draws upon a significant watershed on top of the basalt ridge. Its stream drops off the ridge in a main waterfall with similar cascades above and below; it flows on as a braided stream on an old delta, continuing on to join Willow Brook and Mill River." Written by Tom Pool, 1979

Nothing personal, but I will no longer be returning favs or comments on Sims, (second life or whatever they call that) or other digital artwork that is not photography at all as I honestly don't know much about it and I am not really interested in anything but photography on Flickr.

The Bell P-39 Airacobra was a single-engined fighter produced by Bell Aircraft for the United States Army Air Forces during World War II. It was one of the principal American fighters in service when the United States entered combat in December of 1941.
It had an unusual layout compared to other fighters of the day, with the engine installed in the center of the fuselage, behind the pilot, and driving a tractor propeller in the nose with a long shaft. It was also the first fighter fitted with a tricycle undercarriage. Although its mid-engine placement was innovative, the design was handicapped by the absence of an efficient turbo-supercharger, thus preventing it from performing high-altitude work. For this reason, it was rejected by the RAF for use over Western Europe but adopted by the USSR, where most air combat took place at medium and lower altitudes. With the derivative P-63 Kingcobra, the P-39 was one of the most successful fixed-wing aircraft ever manufactured by Bell, with over 9,500 built.
The Airacobra saw combat worldwide, particularly in the Southwestern Pacific, Mediterranean, and Soviet theaters. Because its engine was equipped with only a single-stage, single-speed supercharger, the P-39s performed poorly above 17,000 feet (5,200 m). In both Western Europe and the Pacific, the Airacobra often found itself outclassed as an interceptor, and the type was gradually relegated to other duties. It was usually used at lower altitudes for such missions as ground target strafing.
After the war, a few late-production P-39Qs survived long enough in the USAAF inventory to be acquired by the United States Air Force upon its separation from the Army. These aircraft served in training and testing roles for approximately a year. In June of 1948, they were redesignated as ZF-39Qs ("ZF" stood for "Obsolete Fighter") as part of the new aircraft designation scheme throughout the USAF.
In 1945, Italy purchased the 46 surviving P-39s at 1% of their original cost, but in the summer of 1946, many accidents occurred, including fatal ones. By 1947, 4° Stormo was re-equipped with P-38s, with the P-39s being sent to training units until the type's retirement in 1951. Only a T9 cannon survives today at Italy's famous Vigna di Valle Museum.
Not much can be found about the service record and this particular P-39, BuNo 42-8740. According to the museum, this aircraft was originally part of a British order for Airacobras and was delivered to the RAF, but it was found in New Guinea. As all the delivered P-39s that went to the RAF in Great Britain were later passed on to the USSR, 42-8740 was probably originally ordered by the British, then diverted to the USAAF after Pearl Harbor. It is unknown which units this aircraft served with in the Southwestern Pacific, but it was abandoned, along with several other Airacobras, at Tadji Airfield in New Guinea. The aircraft was recovered in 1991 by Yanks and restored to flying condition by 2002. Though it lacks any unit markings, 42-8740 is painted in standard USAAF camouflage and carries the 1942-era national insignia.

Durante este el corto pero emocionante viaje a Punta de Lobos en la ciudad de Pichilemu Chile, al observar a los Surfers cortar las olas con sus tablas me di cuenta que somos tan diminutos como inmensos a la vez, somos un universo individual infinito dentro de cada persona, pero fuera somos tan pequeños como una simple particula microscopica, mi vision del mundo ha cambiado nuevamente otorgandome el conocimiento y la conciencia de que somos pequeños pero juntos somos grandes, una frase tosca pero adecuada y con estas palabras doy vida a pequeño humano

During this short but exciting trip to Punta de Lobos in the town of Pichilemu Chile, to watch the Surfers cut through the waves with their boards I realized that we are as small as huge as well , we are an infinite individual universe within each person , but outside are as small as a single microscopic particle , my worldview has changed again giving me the knowledge and awareness that we are small but together we are great , a rough but adequate sentence and these words give life a little human
Detective peralta walked through the bustling city streets, looking for the man in the white hat, the murderer. The problem was, he had become invisible with all the tourists around. It would be almost impossible to find him, but Peralta kept looking.
Suddenly as Peralta was scanning the crowd he noticed the white hat in the middle. He began speed walking to try and catch up with the man, he had almost reached him when their was a single gunshot. Screams could be heard and when Peralta had noticed what happened, the man in the white hat had vanished.
Detective Peralta had an idea of where the perpetrator had fled to. As he scanned the distance he saw the brim of the man’s hat disappear around a corner. He began to run quickly after the man, finally arriving at a bar full of drunks. He looked everywhere but he could not regain sight of the man who was now proving to be quite the elusive figure. Peralta suddenly felt a prod on the back of his neck, he looked back and to his astonishment there was the man with a gun pointed at him.
The man lead him out into an alley where Peralta suspected he might meet his final demise. Jake readied himself for his fate. Before pulling the trigger of his gun, the man laughed and said “you think you can take me down? you've always been a screw up Peralta!!!!! I realised that the second i met you, Captain Holt didnt see it. But i did. and now he will lose his favourite detective” he then lifted the gun and took aim.
Peralta heard a gunshot and dropped to the ground, screaming in pain "WHY? I WAS TOO YOUNG!!!!! OH GOD PLEASE NO"
Jake then realised he was not bleeding, he looked up to see the very confused face of his partner, Amy Santiago, then he saw the body of the man lying on the ground in front of him.
he then whispered to Amy, "I would appreciate if you didn't tell anyone about my alleyway freakout"....
Amy then smiled and replied with "i'm never dropping it"
I wish the power lines weren't there, but they are, so that's how it is! Just across from the closest Dollar General Store that is closest to us!
