Description
This scene could only be painted. A camera would miss the “point” of the hairpin, so to speak. A hairpin turn (also hairpin bend, hairpin corner, etc.) is named for its resemblance to a hairpin or bobby pin with a bend with a very acute inner angle. Such turns in trails may be called switchbacks.
I was standing on the next granite ridge down from that where I painted #1014 “Lyn Trickles”. I was able to include the falls as well as the downstream portion of the river within one painting - something beyond the range of a camera. The swirl of foam in the pool at the base of the falls is the spring portion of the hairpin. There is actually a “backward s” deformation zone in the pattern. This type of deformation zone is typically found in regions of cyclonic rotation. Some ash trees on the far side of the falls had already turned yellow.
