Ithaca is Gorges #WordlessWednesday

Ithaca, New York, is a college town in the Finger Lakes region of New York State.  Its geology is quite interesting.

You may have heard of the Ice Age.  The glaciers carved out what we know today as the Finger Lakes.  Ithaca's geology is interesting.  Glacial runoff formed steep valleys and the water formed waterfalls.  The gorges and waterfalls still exist today.  The City of Ithaca has several waterfalls in or near their borders.

This one is aptly named "Ithaca Falls". I took this picture at the beginning of August, when normally, the falls would be a lot less impressive.  But this has been a wet year - perfect for August waterfalls.

Not surprisingly, Ithaca's tourism slogan is "Ithaca is Gorges".

You can see this waterfall off a city street - there is a small parking lot and some historic ruins in the area, also, that are easy to view.

  2. Alana,

    Very nice shot! We haven't gotten near the rainfall that we need for a gorgeous fall show but I suspect we might have earlier viewing of the change than we've had. Last weekend while in the mountains I could see slight dip in colors in the lower elevations and I don't recall noticing a change this soon, it's more like early to mid October. I hope that's not a sign we're in for a colder winter than usual. Have a wonderful Wild Wednesday, my dear!
