This is the last of three images of the Raquette River that runs alongside the Stone Valley trail. This image also depicts movement with the running water in the image. It contains a miniature waterfall formed by the slope of the landscape. Natural History: Like much of the North Country the landscape of Stone Valley Park was formed by the movement of large land glaciers and ice sheets many thousands of years ago. Their movement has shaped the land and are responsible for the presence of large rocks and boulders in the area. Additionally, the Stone Valley Park is located between the towns of Colton and Parishville. The trail system is more than 12 miles long and has various types of birds, plants, and wildlife indigenous to the region. The Raquette River is also has many rapids that flow over waterfalls and create gorges, rock islands, overhanging cliffs, and potholes. Furthermore, the trail system contains a mixture of topography, woodlands, and plant-life that is unique to the area.
I really like the coloring of this photo. The sky seems to be the same color of the snow. It almost seems like the sky is a sort of reflection of the ground which is broken up by the green of the trees. It also is a good picture of the Raquette River and nicely conveys the movement of the river.
