Giessenbachklamm #1

X The Giessenbachklamm is quite overgrow and not a major attractive but this didn't deter me away.

After the steep grassy path a short wooden bridge rested over the Giessen river.

Not by direct human intervention but how nature chooses to place each object on display whether it's to be found or discovered by us is entirely left to us a species.

The top left corner features a twisted piece of trunk or branch evened out by the rush of the spring waters. Along side it is the smoothed star shaped rock wedged in. Below the square shaped log and small fall of water behind the moss covered rock. The right side the water dashes over the stones while drops sprays to the left in a semi circular motion. The pool of water is near still, resting from the sudden spring rapids when the snow melts. Through the image textures of moss, dried grass, wet darken stones, flat water shocked by the flow. The rocks are of granite and sandstone.
