THE ENCHANTED FOREST - The enchanted forest is a path that's traveled, bearing your load as your cares unravel. With the trees and the grass your only guide, as you walk so softly in your stride. Where everyone lives in harmony here, for this is a place sacred and dear. (Gigli 2009). Photo was taken at Ringwood State Park, N.J.

THE GREAT FALLS - The Great Falls of the Passaic River are a prominent waterfall, 77 ft. high, in the city of Paterson N.J. Congress authorized its establishment as a National Historical Park in 2009. In 1778, Alexander Hamilton visited the falls and later as the nation's first Secretary of Treasury, selected the site of the nation's first planned industrial city. In 1791, Hamilton helped found the Society for the Establishment of Useful Manufactures (S.U.M.). During high water the Great Falls becomes a spectacular sight, with tremendous amounts of water cascading over the falls.

HARVEST MOON - The Harvets Moon is said to come before or after the autumnal equinox. Often the Harvest Moon seems to be bigger or brighter or more colorful than other moons. These effects have to do with the seasonal tilt of the earth. The warm color of the moon shortly after it rises is caused by the light from the moon passing through a greater amount of atmospheric particles than when the moon is overhead. The apparent larger size is because the brain perceives a low-hanging moon to be larger than one that's high in the sky. This is known as a moon illusion and can be seen with any full moon.
