I've done a fair amount of river rafting. Veteran river boatman will tell you there are two kinds of people, those who have flipped a raft and those who will.
As I processed this image, I found myself drawn to the memory of a Grand Canyon trip where the raft I was in flipped in Ruby rapid. The experience of being tossed into the white froth, being pulled down by the water's hydraulics, then being spit out like a cherry pit, instilled in me a tremendous respect for the power of moving water.
I popped up under the boat, but with the oars churning and loose gear posing possible entanglement and head bashing, I grabbed the life line and pulled myself out from under the boat and climbed on top. The other rafters in the group made quick work of getting to the overturned boat and pulling the boatman, myself and the other passenger to safety. We were quickly approaching another rapid and the Colorado River water temps through the Grand Canyon range from 46 to 52 degrees threatening hypothermia.
I have never regained my lack of nervousness about swimming in open water and have only gone on one other Grand Canyon trip since the flip trip where a couple of close calls created more anxiety than excitement.
These and other encounters with Nature's power have taught me lessons about it's disinterest in my well-being and keep me grounded in my place in it.
I'm finally getting back into visiting my favorite spots in my "neighborhood" and took in a spoonful of nature's medicine at Medicine Lake.
This morning as I fiddled around with some recent pics, I found myself transported back to my childhood and the hours I spent with my spirograph, kaleidoscope, etch-a-sketch, and view master. Only those of a certain age will have any idea what I'm talking about, but they were some of my first forays into What If? They also helped me understand math and geometry visually.
In this image, the selection of Topo and Height Maps accentuates and expands the height of each element, turning leaves under ice into a furry exlosion.
I am finding some interesting colors and patterns in some of my ICM images. This one seems to pop right off the screen.
