Description

Taken in low light, which cast a golden glow on the falls and buildings, which contrasted nicely with the blue sky. I have this photo mounted above my desk.

Once a booming mix of mills and factories, Rochester’s Brown’s Race Neighborhood has gone through drastic changes in the last two decades. The city has invested millions in cleaning up the old brick buildings, attempting to revitalize the area as an entertainment district. Bars and restaurants come and go, with few successfully maintaining a steady business. A massive parking structure was built, as well as a pedestrian bridge that not only allows people to traverse the Genesee Gorge, but also to observe the 96 foot High Falls and the massive Genesee Gorge walls, scarred with the constructions of industry past.

A large waterfall; wider than it is tall. It drops 96 ft classically over a slight overhang. Below is a massive gorge scarred by industrial mills from the past.
