THE WRATH OF HELL'S GATE - (Selected by GETTY IMAGES)

.

.

 

 

I was originally enrolled into the GETTY IMAGES collection as a contributor on April 9th 2012, and when links with FLICKR were terminated in March 2014, I was retained and signed up via a second contract, both of which have proved to be successful with sales of my photographs all over the world now handled exclusively by them.

 

 

On November 12th 2015 GETTY IMAGES unveiled plans for a new stills upload platform called ESP (Enterprise Submission Platform), to replace the existing 'Moment portal', and on November 13th I was invited to Beta test the new system prior to it being rolled out to the general public in December. (ESP went live on Tuesday December 15th 2015).

 

With visits now in excess of 17.049 Million to my FLICKR site, used primarily these days as a platform to reach friends and family, prospective clients and fellow Flickerinos, I would like to say a huge and heartfelt 'THANK YOU' to FLICKR, GETTY IMAGES and everyone who drops by.

This photograph was taken at an altitude of One hundred and fifteen metres at 11:22am on Saturday 7th May 2016 off the Trans Canada Highway 1, between Spuzzum and Boston Bar, from the bridge over the Fraser River at Hell's Gate in British Columbia, Canada.

 

 

Hell's Gate was named after Simon Fraser's 1808 voyage when he stated that "No man should ever pass here it was truly like passing through the gates of hell ". Here there is a suspended bridge and the gondolas which whisks visitors to and forth.
