NIAGARA FALLS IN MOONLIGHT

Falling Night
Originally uploaded by jedistemo.

Water pours over a precipice crashing onto rocks below and thence on towards the sea. Rain fills the rivers, the rivers fill the lakes, the lakes fill the rivers below, and on to the sea where the water evaporates and becomes once again...rain.

By moonlight the perfection of our water cycle is pure and simple.

I recall the famous lines of The Three Stooges, those zany characters of old black and white television: "Niagara Falls, slowly I turned, step by step, inch by inch, Niagara Falls." I recall Lake Ontario and how the moon gleamed from its shiny surface late at night.

The night is made so grand by the orb we call the moon. How nice.
