Can you find six people in this picture? If not, see below. See other versions: Summer Fall Winter Spring.

There are six people in this picture; two on the observation deck and four in the stream just upstream from the bridge.

Also, notice the wonderful example of the conjugate joint system that forms the tile-like fractures below the bridge. You can see similar joint fractures in most of the Ithaca waterfalls. These are natural geologic features, even though they look like manmade constructions. You can see fractures at the same angles in the vertical wall on the left side of the waterfall and in the lip of the waterfall itself.
