Hearing that the President will be touring Paterson, N. J. on Sunday I drove over to get a few photos of the city. I was too late to see the devastation. I think most of the downtown streets were drained by the time I got there but the Paterson Great Falls was quite a view.
A few more photos and two videos below.
Here's a comparison, the falls on September 7, 2010;
And what the view looked like on September 2, 2011;
A big difference between what I saw walking to the bridge last year;
And yesterday;
A short video of the view from there;
Looking downriver from the bridge, then;
And now;
I like the little tree that is hanging in there.
The view from the bridge on September 7, 2010;
A video from the bridge yesterday;
Walking down to the best viewing area yesterday;
This was last year's view;
And quick shot before my camera got soaked yesterday.
There was a great deal of spray in the air.
So tomorrow should be like a trip to Niagara Falls fro Barack Obama.
And those are the views from Paterson, N.J.
Have a nice day.
