Meeting of the Fraser
& Thompson Rivers
Lytton, B.C.
I've always thought this was an amazing sight -- the mingling of the muddy, murky waters of the Fraser River with the deep blue waters of the Thompson, coming in from beneath the bridge at the right.
The mixing of the waters carries on for a while but by about a kilometre downstream the waters have all mixed and bear no trace of the Thompson, looking every bit as muddy and murky as if nothing had ever happened to change the mighty Fraser.
On the right bank of the Fraser, just above where the rivers meet, you can see a river raft coming in to a pick up point. Two or three river rafting companies ply the waters of both rivers but mainly the Thompson. There are some nice rapids about 15 km upstream.
Farther upstream in the Fraser, you may be able to make out the Lytton reaction ferry. It is attached to an overhead cable and is powered by the action of the river current.
Following Doctor's orders, I'm doing my daily 30 minute walk, and figured I might as well take the camera, especially as a sunny day highlights all the fall colors

3J06, the 0651 Skipton-Maryport-Carlisle RHTT, with 37667 leading and 37688 on the rear, is in the Eden Valley north of Culgaith on 29 October 2008. This frosty autumn scene is at the confluence of the Rivers Eden (running parallel to the line) and Eamont (meandering back towards Penrith and the Cumbrian fells).
This picture is done by using two shots, one is for forground and another one is for sky. The forground and sky pictures were taken within moments of each other without the camera or tripod moving.
Camera: Sony a7r III
Lens: Sony 14mm f/1.8
Milky way and forground: ISO 6400, f/1.8, 20 seconds

une sorte de preview, en attendant d'avoir un nouveau trépied (si quelq'un en a un a vendre?) et d'y aller au bon moment (petite idée derrière la tête), 2 vues prise à l'arrache sur le garde corps du pont, recadrer à fond car pas droite du tout,
"We'll easily spend an entire day in the Ogwen Valley," came the confident verdict as we planned our long weekend in Snowdonia. What we didn't know at the time was that Storm Ciara was planning on turning up uninvited and threatening chaos in the manner of an unexpected party crasher with destructive ambitions.
In the event we had to contract the best of the plans for both Saturday and Sunday into a few hours before what light there was disappeared into an oncoming soaking. In fact apart from a visit to the lone tree at sunrise, two hours here and a short visit to the view along the Llanberis Pass from the Pyg Track were the sum total of our time in the Snowdonia National Park. Having said that, the time spent on this hillside was a joy. Streams and cascades racing down the slope towards Llyn Ogwen provided a number of foreground opportunities against the magnificent backdrop of Tryfan. We met one or two other people up here, all of them landscape photographers, and all of them seemingly knowing where the best spots were. In fact as I made my way uphill the two viewpoints I liked most were already occupied by a couple from Tamworth, who were planning to head over to nearby Anglesey for the rest of the day.
Neither of the spots I had to patiently await while indulging in polite conversation were this one though. This, I found for myself as I gradually and reluctantly made my way back towards the car, hopping across the stream on the left to find a vantage point where the three of them combined into one over a space of a few yards. By this time the sky was darkening and the rain was drifting in and out of the scene, carried by a strengthening wind, so picking a moment to make a long exposure was challenging.
Confluence. A place where rivers join. I remember that from O Level Geography, more years ago than I care to admit. Nice place though.........

Well this is not exactly the photo I had envisioned but I like it, I guess. We had a big snow storm here yesterday, and I was hoping to get a shot with lots of snow on the trees and around the river. However, the weather forecasters screwed me again, saying it would snow on Monday, but instead it snowed on Sunday night, so by the time I got up there on Monday after work, most of the snow had melted. Well, at least I had some nice clouds and fog over the river.
