Cascadilla Creek, Ithaca, N.Y.: 6th Fall, or Giant's Staircase

A stereograph on a yellow mount shows a tiered waterfall cascading over dark rock in a wooded gorge, its white water glowing against shadowed trees. Two nearly identical side-by-side views create a three-dimensional effect. The printed caption beneath names the site as near Willow Pond.
