About Tumult
This is the spectacular spillway at New Croton Dam in southern Westchester County - a structure that is part of New York City's water supply system, holding approximately 18 to 19 billion gallons of water. At 300 feet, the spillway's drop significantly exceeds that of Niagara Falls, and when running at full flow it is a truly humbling sight.
I have always been captivated by the solitary Alder tree clinging to the rock face mid-spillway. At times like this, when the water surges with such raw power all around it, its quiet persistence feels nothing short of remarkable - a small act of defiance against overwhelming force.
This image was captured in early Spring, following a period of heavy rainfall. On my way home one late afternoon I took a detour to see whether a combination of snowmelt and recent rains had created something worth photographing. The light was perfect, the water was roaring - I think I hit the jackpot.
