Even at a table in a restaurant. Light passing through a glass of wine, or a faceted waterglass can make an interesting pattern on the table. Hardly anyone ever notices that sort of stuff. It's great these days to have a camera in my pocket wherever I go.
I've been observing it for 40 years. Sometimes it's really spinning... It should form again this weekend as it's supposed to get cold fast. it's tough to predict though because of the river height
❤ the aerial shot at the end! I grew up on a brook, and remember seeing a small circle of ice chips, maybe a foot in diameter. It was temporary, as the water was directed by a log jam towards a stationary rock, which caused the eddy current. P.S. I just checked on the origin of the term 'eddy currant'. They were not named after a guy named Eddy, but French physicist Lèon Foucault. Lèon's discovery related to electromagnetic fields, so he appropriated the term from the world of hydrodynamics. Goog can't seem to tell me the real origin of the term as it applies to water. Just maybe, long, long ago, there was a guy named Eddy...
I like the flying saucer phenomenon, but your hat is the real show stopper.
Gotta sport a nice cover when possible!!
Great video, and a great reminder to always look for interesting things hidden in plain sight!
Thanks...and that's a fact!!

@savage22bolt32 I agree. There are many awesome things people just fail to see ...and then go to therapy!
That is the coolest thing ever no pun intended. I’m going to check this out I go by there often. Thx for sharing 😊

Eddy currents?
Toss a stick in there in summer, it will likely circle the same way.
Absolutely. I've been out there in a canoe. Big, slow eddy...
I know exactly where u are,, I used to live right around the corner.. hahaha PS love the hat!!!
Thanks!
Got a regular one in Bellows Falls VT too!
Awesome!! Thanks for sharing!!

Eddy was a big-time Greek fisherman-philosopher I bet!!
@FishingHistoricPlaces LOL!
Did you walk over to little Georges for breakfast
Not this particular day...but it's a great side stop for sure!
I haven’t seen a ring of ice, but I have heard of a ring of fire. . .
. . . Ring of fire . . .
The Ring of 🔥!!
