I am particularly enthralled by Wells Falls, (aka Businessman's Lunch Falls), for two reasons: first, it is very close to where we are staying on this visit to Ithaca and, second, it has an old world feel due to the presence of the waterside building remnants.
A different perspective is available at the end of a short trail to the base of the falls.
It is clear that these trees have lived through many cycles of flood and drought over the years. Shakespeare said that "truth will out," but that saying has often been altered to, "life will out." These roots are an illustration of that natural tenacity to survive.
