Habitat: river area, wooded region

Natural History: Lampson Falls in on the South Branch of the Grasse River. In reality, the North Branch branches a few miles downstream of this area and the river breaks into the Middle Branch and the South Branch a few miles upstream. The stretch containing Lampson Falls is the main section of the Grasse River. The Grasse River, along with the other tributaries to the St. Lawrence River, served as a water power source for several mills in the towns and hamlets along its course. Virtually none of these mills have survived, but stone foundations, burned out furnaces and other ancient structures can be located along its banks.

Interest: I liked looking at the waterfall from this different perspective in order to perhaps catch some of the effects of the sunlight, which I did. When even looking at the photo, one can see the breaks in the ice, and the sunlight reflect directly between them, almost as if it is cutting the ice with heat.
