Change over time. Eagle Cliff and Curtain Cascade.

Curtain cascade

Eagle cliff and the council chamber.

    I found some more old photos of Havana glen and instead of trying to include them in my other post (formatting issues) I decided to showcase them here.

An updated photo in spring of 2011.

  Eagle cliff falls as seen to the right has changed quite a bit since this photo was taken. The edge of the falls has broken off and is now about 5 foot farther back. The supports for the old stairs are still visible on a piece of rock that juts from above the falls. This rock oddly enough from below resembles an eagle which is why some people erroneously think the water fall is named eagle cliff. However as you can see in this photo that point was actually not even in existence when the fall was named. It is now the only evidence of the stairs and will soon break off itself and fall. The glen is ever changing and as such will only remain in its current set up for a short period of time. In the winter of 2011 another piece of the fall came down yet again changing the appearance. Unfortunately I did not get a photo of the changed falls.

  In this other photo I attempted to get the same angle as the old one but the cliff face on the north side is not as easily reached as it once was and this is the closest I could get. It was in early spring hence the large amount of water.
 

Curtain Cascade spring 2011

   The photo at the top of this page shows curtain cascade as it looked probably in the early 1900s since then a large mass of rock has come down and eroded away leaving the upper portion of that waterfall to look a little different today. Today the fall is about three foot lower than the photo shows. There is zero evidence of the ladder to the right.

       Above shows two more photos of the fall from slightly earlier probably late 1800s. At one time a bridge spanned the waterfall, this would have been an amazing view , today there is no evidence of the bridge either. This portion of the glen is now almost completely devoid of any evidence of a walk way. A few holes exist in the rock through the council chamber and just above. And above curtain cascade at the base of Bridal veil there is some iron jutting from the rock, likely a support for the stairs that would have been there.  To the right is a photo of curtain cascade today although it is quite a bit lower it is still quite the impressive waterfall to visit.
