American Falls, Niagara, from Across River The sylvan perfume, the gayety of the sunshine, the mildness
3. American Falls, Niagara, from Across River
The sylvan perfume, the gayety of the sunshine, the mildness of the breeze that stirred the leaves overhead, and the bird singing that made itself felt amid the roar of the rapids and the solemn incessant plunge of the cataract, moved our hearts and made us children with the boy and girl that stood beside us--who stood for a moment and then broke into joyful wonder. --W. D.Howells The pure beauty of elegance and grace is the grand characteristic of the falls. It is supremely artistic, a harmony, a masterpiece. The lower half of the waterway wall is shrouded in the steam of the boiling gulf--a veil never rent or lifted. At its core this eternal cloud seems fixed and still with excess of motion--still and intensely white. --Henry James To paint the glories that come and go upon the falling, rushing waters, the painter must dip his brush in the rainbow, and when he has done his best, he willnot be believed by those who have not seen his subject with their own eyes. --Art Journal

Bridal Veil Falls and Three Graces, Yosemite The Yosemite Valley is nearly in the center of the state
14. Bridal Veil Falls and Three Graces, Yosemite
The Yosemite Valley is nearly in the center of the state of California north and south, and just midway between the east and west basins of the Sierra, here a little over 70 miles wide. The valley is anearly level area, about six miles in length, and from half a mile to a mile in width, sunken almost a mile in perpendicular depth below the general level of the region. It may be roughly likened to a gigantic trough holowed out in the mountains, nearly at right angle to their regular trend. Down the many side gulches or canyons descend streams, forks of the Merced, coming down the steeps in a series of stupendous waterfalls. On the side of Cathedral Rock, which faces the entrance of Merced River into the valley, Bridal Veil Creek falls over a precipice 630 feet high and then forms a number of smaller cascades that together make a descent of 300 feet more. The fall is very beautiful. In its leaps the column of water is swayed hither and thither by the wind, and nearly dissolved into spray, which makes the fanciful name very appropriate. The Yosemite Valley Fall has a clear leap of 1,500 feet from the top of the cliff.
