Water falls, human comments

Written by 

Waterfalls are something I saw often in my youth, though usually they were actually dams.

This, however is a real waterfall.

Hamilton has dozens of them. It's a waterfall capital of some sort.

I see this look-out location, someone has decided to colour-up the bland grey-blue of steel with more of a dark blue paintcan scrawl. This locale, considered more a part of nature than the downtown of a city, has been brought not only some Hamilton steel, but some Hamilton colour.

While this harsh spray-paint to some may be loud, what speaks louder is the waterfall itself.

We need more of this loudness from the Earth, perhaps. Or maybe just more listening; a thunderstorm passing over a city is no less loud than outside of one.

A lone bird call, however, is generally drowned out in an urban context, yet seem to have no problems at a waterfall.
