grate drain

Caroline Scudder

This audio file was recorded above the lake grate on Furman University’s campus in Greenville, SC.  I was walking around the lake when I discovered this new sound-- something akin to a rushing waterfall. As I walked closer to the grate drain with a sign in front of it that said, “STAY OFF GRATE,” I peered down into a twenty foot drop-off where water was rushing from the lake to a new location.
