Boulder Brook, #RockyMountainNationalPark September 2003

A cataract along Boulder Brook in Rocky Mountain National Park. The brook descends from near the top of Storm Peak down to Storm Pass, a spot along Bear Lake Road uphill from Sprague Lake. A trail follows the brook and this spot caught my eye. The brook is about 15’ across and a lot of water is rushing over some rocks throwing up white water the looks silky with a long exposure. A thin log extends from the left edge as though suspended over the water. September 2003

Same fate for the other ruin on the neighboring hill (last image), which belonged to the father and also got destroyed previously (in 1525) by farmers of the surrounding villages...)

Grid managers have instructed the country’s largest electricity providers to postpone routine maintenance on power plants and lines
to ensure that those resources are available during and after the storm.
Heavy snow and freezing rain weigh down tree branches and power lines, causing failures that can cripple energy systems.
Frigid cold also drives up electricity demand as heating appliances require more energy and run longer

The rains lifted houses and cars, inundated farms, swept through grocery stores and left a thick layer of mud in streets, homes and ga…
