"It Forms a Bay"
I scouted Wequiock Falls (Pronounced: WIK-wee-ock) for a photo opportunity during every season and concluded that I would attempt a "glamor shot" of this enchanting ravine's essence in the pre-dawn hours of late spring when a Flower Moon illuminated the inner canyon. For the last eleven-thousand years Wequiock Creek has been persistently cutting a gorge into the red banks at the southwestern edge of the peninsula, exposing the most ancient bedrock of the Niagara Escarpment — Scales Shale — in the process. The 35-foot descent into the ravine reveals a fascinating 440-million year window into Earth’s history, epoch upon epoch—stacked—like the layers of a cake. Wequiock is a name derived from the Ojibwa word Wikkway, meaning “it forms a bay.”
