Wouldn't it be great to stop time just for one moment... to keep that for as long as you wish, then come back again and again for a while? Taken shortly before my previous pic, on a bridge over Plantsbrook. Zak and I saw the water tumbling over the rocks upstream, and we met some lovely people and their beautiful dogs too. We were happy there, Zak and I.

Out of the way, unnamed on maps, this is a back country tributary of the North Branch of the Boquet river and may see spawning Landlocked Salmon soon, up from Lake Champlain. Not long after it will become a passage of ice and snow for treks through cold north country forest.

Business has been slow, so I didn't have to work today. I took a drive to the hill country looking for something to photograph. I got a few I liked and than the sun was just too bright and everything starting looking ugly..:)
Early in the morning on May 24, during the 2015 Texas–Oklahoma floods, the Blanco River experienced catastrophic flooding. The river at Wimberley rose more than 30 feet in less than three hours, and set a new record high crest of more than 40 feet while disabling the gauge.
Rainfall totals of 10 to 13 inches were reported upstream in southern Blanco County, and all of this water entered the Blanco River and Little Blanco River. The Fischer Store Rd. bridge over the Blanco River was destroyed by flood waters west of Wimberley. The Blanco River, down stream from the bridge, at Wimberley reached a record crest. The gauge failed at 40 feet and the USGS later estimated the crest at 44.9 feet with peak flow of 175,000 cubic feet per second (5,000 m3/s). This height was more than 10 feet over the previous record height of 33.3 feet from 1929. Homes along the banks of the Blanco River from the City of Blanco, through Wimberley, and down to San Marcos experienced an historic flood. Many homes were totally destroyed and swept down stream. Many homes were struck by large debris, including full size cypress trees which typically lined the banks of the river.
On the Kicking Horse River, just upstream from the Natural Bridge in Yoho National Park, British Columbia.
Took this up Little Cottonwood Canyon. Earlier in the year this was a ferocious river, lots of trees and other debris left behind until next year's runoff.
A view from one of the Snake River feeder streams - gives a wonderful calmness tot the mountains The main river was running very high and fast.
The Befreiungshalle
"Hall of Liberation", is a neoclassical monument on the Michelsberg hill above the town of Kelheim in Bavaria, Germany. It stands upstream of Regensburg on the river Danube at the confluence of the Danube and the Altmühl, i.e. the Rhine–Main–Danube Canal.
It is just downstream of the Danube Gorge, towering above its lower end.
It was commissioned by King Ludwig I of Bavaria to commemorate the victory over Napoleon in the Befreiungskriege of 1813–1815.

Light rain, gray skies, and a babbling brook. Grab me a comfy chair and wake me up in a couple hours. The water was cold, clear and inviting. My journey upstream begins.
I must admit that I tweaked this so much that it could be a viable HSS candidate, but here it is on Tuesday. Sometimes, a guy just wants to make a nicer photo than the actual conditions.

Taken on a gloomy day when there is little sunshine.
The water flowing through the river seems to be very cold.
