Today, after a peaceful and accomplished day at work, I made a little pilgrimage
to the sacred Haw River,
to make my first dip of the season.
But arriving there, I was so taken by the stunning vista of the water pouring over the damn, and the mist rising from this pounding wall of water, that I had to double back, over ouchy gravel, for my camera.
In these following photos, I did a little bit of exploring of this local phenomenon,
that has long vexed (and almost killed!) me-
THE EDGE.

I tried to capture some of the ghastly violence of the drop here,
and I think it comes through, don't you?
However, all said and done, down on the other end-
To quote my ZamBandmate 'Suebamboogee':
"Off the deep end, Baby...
And the water is FINE!!!"

| First Dip, Oh Yeah! |
