Description
This image has been purchased once.
Tauhannock Falls includes a history of geology; Devonian Era rocks accumulating in a shallow sea 360 million years ago, massive ice sheets shaping the landscape up to 2 million years ago, and the movement of glaciers between 2 million and 10 thousand years ago. Now add in the natural erosion process of the past 10,000 years, and the “hanging valley†you see today is picture perfect.
Taughannock is a Native American name believed to be derived from a combination of the Algonquin and Iroquois languages meaning “in the trees†or “great fall in the woodsâ€. It is also possible to have been named after a Lenape chieftain, Taghkanic, that was killed in a battle near the falls. You can decide which sounds more interesting to you.
The outstanding plunge of Taughannock Falls is one of the Northeast’s most exceptional natural attractions. At 215 feet tall, this fall is the highest single drop waterfall east of the Rocky Mountains. To put things in perspective, it is about 33 feet higher than Niagara Falls; it only fails to compare in volume.
To get a perspective of the grandeur of the falls, look at the bridge at the bottom of the image and the trail on the right. There you will see tiny dots which are people.

It is most unfortunate we cannot embed audio into images such as this ! Nice shot!

That's a great comment Joe. Embeded audio would be spectacular for a waterfall picture. However, I was so far away from this fall we could not hear anything. Thanks for the comment.
