Verse  Getting There  About the picture




Small Falls

 

Pushing past the walls of vine,
and trees locked-limbs,
over fallen boughs climb,
pushing past the forest dim.

Driven towards the sirens tone,
the sorceress's relentless roar.
Visions of sights to come
urge the enchanted fore.

Enlivened by airs wet taste,
a growing crescendo quickens  the pace.
 Cooling mists assuage the soul,
foretelling yonder torrents misty roll.

At last the mighty songstress,
 caller of my soul,
source of golden mists,
 mother of another rainbow.
	
	"Siren's Source"  John Mattson

About the picture

The Foz de Iguazu are a series of waterfalls along the Parana river which runs between Argentina and Brazil. Throughout this region there are many waterfalls. This particular waterfall is accessible from the Argentine side. I was quite fortunate to be their at the time of day when a rainbow was seen in the mists and spray of the falls. Though this region of Brazil is in a temperate region which does get cool during their winter (July and August) this particular falls has a "Tropical- Paradise" character to it. I have found myself often sitting and staring into the photo, hearing the waters roar and almost felling the cool spray.
