hauling
A large load of logs moves down the Gunnison River. The ice floes are even larger.
River Bends
The current and the old path of the San Juan River in Southern Utah.
Missouri Crossing
Humidity and smoke filtered most of the shorter wavelengths of light out of this sunset. This resulted in a dramatic red sun leaving its trail across the waters of the Missouri River.
Columbia River View
This view was on a trail built up the outside of a vertical rock outcropping, which was worth it for the amazing view, but nerve wracking given my fear of heights. The whole landscape around the Columbia River is stunning, especially with the bright spring greens.
Spring Cascade
Spring in northern Wisconsin always brings high water from snow melt and rain, which provides spectacular sights at local waterfalls and rivers. This spring certainly delivered with cold nights providing an icy fringe to the water.
Crags
I have been enjoying the challenge of editing other peoples photos recently, which I feel has helped me try ideas that I wouldn’t normally on my own photos. This edit of a photo by elel really shows off the depth of the canyon using the fog to layer the cliffs fading into the background.
Frozen Spray
These icicles are the result of cold nights during the spring thaw. Just up river from this cliff is a waterfall that was creating a cloud of mist, freezing into fantastical shapes along the ledges.
Raging River
High water from heavy rain and spring runoff combined filled this dam spillway at Pattison State Park much more than normal, affording the amazing foam patterns and contrast.
Mossy Cliff
Spring brings so many vibrant colors, but I always love the bright greens you so rarely see any other time of year. This is a sandstone cliff in Amnicon Falls State Park in Wisconsin that hosts wonderful moss and lichens and some evergreen ferns.
Cape Horn
This is a photo from Cape Horn on the north side of the Columbia River gorge, which affords a great view up the river to the east. There is a rail line that runs along the river below.
