“A Serpent Awakened”

Gorge Cascade Falls, Sleeping Giant State Park, Hamden, Connecticut

Swollen with heavy autumn rains, a nameless brook on the flank of the Sleeping Giant hills furiously races through a deep, woodland gorge. Under most circumstances, this series of cascades and falls isn’t quite so impressive, being frozen over during winter and reduced to a trickle during most of the warmer months from late spring to through autumn. The rare, whitewater spectacle in “A Serpent Awakened” resulted from an October Nor’easter that dumped nearly 5″ of rain in a single day.
