Gorge Light

This is a view from a footbridge over the

upper end of the Gorge. The water is mostly

brackish at this point. Restoration work on

the salmon run here has been on going for

some time and has had some success.

I found this to be a fairly complex subject for

a small format. Part of the water is in

full light and has cast shadows across its

surface with the bottom colour showing, the other

area of water has a reflection

of the far shore. The high contrast values of the

trees in the shoreline added yet another

challenge, perhaps to much... =;-))

I hope to do a larger version

of this soon.
