Start of the spring thaw
We were there during that time of year when spring and winter overlap – new snow was falling in the mountains but melting at the lower elevations, already causing the streams to run with clear, cold water.

Nice!—a photograph I enjoyed looking at for a long time. Probably has something to do with your effective use of leading lines.

Thank you, Linda. I made several shots from this same spot. Some of them had people along that walkway, but I didn’t like those versions as much. The people, of course, just cluttered up everything, and especially broke up the leading lines…

It’s the juxtaposition of structure on the right and wilderness on the left that gets me.

That is an interesting sort of mash-up. The whole place is fascinating to me*, and I go there every time I am nearby.
*You probably already noticed that.
