These Manmade Waterfalls Clean Our Water

Another photo from the Yourell Aeration Station in Worth, IL. It's such a beautiful park. I actually went there for a night photography, steel wool painting meetup, but in the end, have been much more engaged with the photos I took there before the meetup began.
Thanks so much for the visits, comments, and favs on the reflection shots I posted yesterday. I so appreciate your support and was thrilled to see them appear briefly on PP.
Alternate shot showing exterior of cathedral and a fun (okay, nerd fun) diptych of the man on the steps, from 2 perspectives: http://365project.org/taffy/the-also-ran-ph/2015-04-14
Very beautifully captured!

@kchuk It's just east of the intersection of 116th and Harlem -- there's a parking lot entrance just south of 116th on the east side. Then, walk in and there it all is -- geese, ducks, gulls, the water, a building, the river, a tressle...lots to photograph!

Great shot and editing. I know what you mean about appearing briefly on PP page. I tend to post in the evenings and when I wake up the next morning and check I can see if a photo has been on there but I seldom see it as it has gone off before I waken!

A beautiful long exposure - I love all the swirls and creamy look of the water. I thought at first it was b& w and then noticed the thin sliver of blue sky! Another great image! Fav!

I agree with Pam I like the tone the long exposure gives the water in this picture.

April 15th, 2015  
I love the water and the tones just beautiful.
April 15th, 2015  
@francoise Haha! I just added 'these' to the title to make it six words...but since I took it on the 12th and posted the 14th, didn't tag it for the theme.
April 15th, 2015  
This is a wonderful long exposure. I love the effect on the water, and the starkness of the trees against the sky.
April 15th, 2015  
Wonderful to show how the water flows smoothly over the weirs and then eddies below them. Great shot
April 15th, 2015  
Great water movement captured!
April 15th, 2015  
This is lovely Taffy - the tones convey a sense of peace and tranquility... but I bet it was actually quite noisy!
April 15th, 2015  
Nice shot- I always like that silky effect on the water.
April 16th, 2015  
This is a lovely shot... so many layers and opportunities for the silky water textures to plummet. The swirling water movement adds much to the shot.
April 16th, 2015  
Beautiful capture
April 16th, 2015  
Oh, well, this deserved another fav for sure. How cool is this.
April 16th, 2015  
this is just gorgeous with the silky water! love your processing!
April 16th, 2015  
I can see I'm going to have to make a trip! This is awesome and sounds like there's plenty to keep me busy! ;) Fav to mark the addy! ;)
April 17th, 2015  
@voiceprintz Definitely!! You'd love all the opportunity -- best to come at golden and blue hour. Felt totally safe as a place to shoot.
April 17th, 2015  
@taffy Good to know, although, I'd prolly take the boy along. He likes feeling like he's "the man" and protecting me! ;) Sometimes, I can get him behind the camera as well. He has a decidedly and distinctively different eye than me. We've hung a cpl of his in the house as well. Of course, there's water here. I would need to allow the requisite rock throwing as well! ;) Thanks for the additional info!
April 17th, 2015  
More silky water!
