I've seen those awesome photos. I should post the photos I took of the (far smaller) Paterson Falls frozen up in winter.

Please post them. The name 'Patterson' brings the poet William Carlos Williams to mind. I've seen those awesome photos. I should post the photos I took of the (far smaller) Paterson Falls frozen up in winter. ww

Paterson Falls is in Paterson, NJ. Paterson, NJ was at one time one of the primary industrial centers in the USA but it went into severe decline and ruin. The falls also was quite a famous tourist attraction at one time but later was all but forgotten and was surrounded by fairly dangerous slums. That's when I used to go. I haven't been there in years now but they were attempting to yuppy-fy the Falls district when I was there last. Here are some online photos. As you can see there's a bridge over the falls. You can stand on it (assuming it's still open) and look down on teh falls, and when the it's running strongly and the sun is shining you will see one or more rainbows below you. The falls are especially dramatic when NJ's rivers are flooding. images.google.com/images?client=opera&rls=en&q=paterson%20falls%2C%20nj&sourceid=opera&oe=utf-8&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wiww
