Rivière Ste-Marguerite
WIKIPEDIA: La rivière Sainte-Marguerite débute sa course de 100 km dans le lac Saint-Marguerite à une altitude de 678 m et de divers plan d'eau à l'ouest du Mont-Valin (785 m), dans la zec Martin-Valin. Elle coule ensuite en direction nord-ouest sur quelques kilomètres avant de tourner en direction sud-ouest sur 15 km et tourne brusquement vers le sud-est. Elle coule ensuite presqu'en parallèle la rivière Saguenay sur environ 60 km. En final de parcours, la rivière bifurque vers le sud-ouest pour un dernier 2,4 km avant de se jeter dans celui-ci dans la baie Sainte-Marguerite qui est située au niveau de la mer.

Sainte-Marguerite River begins its course of 100 kilometres (62 mi) in Sainte-Marguerite Lake at an altitude of 678 metres (2,224 ft). This lake is recuperating water of many water bodies at West of Mont-Valin (785 metres (2,575 ft)), in the zec Martin-Valin.
Then, the river flows in north-westerly direction for a few kilometers before turning southwest on 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) and turns sharply to the southeast. It then goes along the Saguenay River on about 60 kilometres (37 mi). In final step of it course, the river turn toward South-West for a final 2.4 kilometres (1.5 mi) before flowing into the Sainte-Marguerite Bay at sea level. The entry of this bay (with a length of 2.7 kilometres (1.7 mi) and 1.3 kilometres (0.81 mi) of maximum width) is located at 25 kilometres (16 mi) (by the river) upstream of the Tadoussac ferry.
Location
Panaro river, nearby Vignola (Modena province - Emilia-Romagna region - Italy).

This was one of the more unusual sunset colors I've ever seen. After a thunderstorm passed through the huge anvil cloud high overhead reflected this color on the lower level clouds in every direction.

" Life is a privilege, and those of us who choose the path of creativity, may just be the most privileged of all." (Robert Genn)
"Gratefulness is the great task, the how of our spiritual work, because, rightly understood, it re-roots us." (David Steindl-Rast)
Greetings from Salmon Arm, Sicamous and the Shuswaps!
I've been holidaying (only casually photographing) in British Columbia the month of August, and to say the change in topography by comparison with familiar prairies of Southern Alberta is drastic, would be shortchanging my description. I'm met with complete overwhelming visual information given the sheer scale and vertical dimensions. Seldom is anything flat and even those organic farming pastures are interrupted and buttressed by mountains, the summer greenery, orchards, crops, and lakes amazing. The transitions from place to place seem complex, my mind accommodated by "uninteRRuptus of landscape forms", understanding smoother changes between communities.
For those who live here, this is all everyday occurrence, and slowly I've come to the conclusion I'm wrapped in a cocoon of gratefulness for the experience and opportunity to photograph when the moment calls, and leave the balance to just inhale this new landscape. Undulating mountain ranges may become the new flatness in my world.

The old Salmon Fishing Bothy on Riverside Drive in Aberdeen. Flooding after snow melt coming down the River Dee.
The main part of the glacier coming out of the mountains.
Wikipedia: Salmon Glacier, Stewart, British Columbia is North America's fifth largest glacier. It ends at sea level and reaches heights of 4300 ft.
The glacier shows a line of rock debris called a medial moraine running down the middle of the glacier. At various points there are lateral moraines along the banks of the glacier. The face of the glacier changes always with crevasses being created by the cross movement of the ice flow.
This spectacular glacier is located in Canada and can be accessed by road from Stewart, British Columbia from early July to late September.
Summit Lake is located at the northern end of the glacier and every year around mid-July the lake breaks an ice-dam and then flows under the Salmon Glacier into the Salmon River. This causes the river to rise approximately 4 - 5 feet for several days.
Wild Pacific Salmon reefnet fishing is a historical Pacific Northwest salmon fishing method. It has been practiced for centuries by the Native American tribes of the Puget Sound. Fisherman still stand on towers, wearing polaroid sunglasses, waiting to spot a school of Sockeye, Chinook, Pink, Coho or Chum salmon swimming along the reef and over the small net suspended between two boats. This process is incredibly selective, as spotters can identify the exact type of fish swimming below. When a school of salmon is observed, the net is quickly pulled up and the fish are gently spilled into a netted live well to relax after a brief struggle. This process is not only humane but allows for the dissipation of bitter lactic acid built up in the salmon flesh, which results in a sweeter flavor.

This is an image from my excursion with Chip Shotz several weeks ago. This was our last stop on the whirlwind itinerary and it seems really appropriate to both of us. We had a fun time, as always.
Some of you will, no doubt, recognize the color-making cloud (clouds) from images you made that evening. I know I saw a couple of my contacts that had a front row seat for it down near San Francisco. You can see some a page back on my "Favorites" bookmarks.
I had a number of similar frames but I liked this one for the way the wave motion obscures just the right amount of reflection of the sky.
Thank you for having a look!
This was quite a new experience! I have never witnessed this & today I was lucky to be able to shoot this amazing event!
We saw this guy's white head from a long distance away as we approached a very narrow entry to a small cove. We couldn't figure out why he didn't fly away (as eagles usually do) as we motored through the entrance. Finally, we saw - a fresh meal of salmon. Over the years, I've been surprised watching eagles and osprey fish. They miss - a lot!
Several people have commented on the SC and/or mono background. This shot is actually unprocessed with regard to color - just cropped a bit.
