I went running one warm winter afternoon not long ago. It was getting late afternoon and for some reason the river was way down. I have seen it lower. One time I walked almost clear across it. The bottom is hard rock with deep crevices. There is a lot of old construction and oilfield debris. There is also a lot of fish in the remaining pools. I have seen them while crossing the bridges. Here is a video made of the river back in 2014 when the river was low and running clear. It shows among other types of fish a shovel nosed sturgeon which was unexpected.
I am really taken with the idea of all that life taken place hidden in a river running through a big city.
So, how are things where you live?
Gorgeous sky and nice reflection in the low water. Totally surprised there are sturgeon in OK. BTW, delicious to eat, at least from the Columbia River.
Wow – what an amazing sky shot!
What a stunning sunset photo! Wow!
Gorgeous sky and reflection. Will the fish survey the low water levels. Great photo. Happy Thursday, enjoy your day and weekend ahead!
WOW!!! Just wow, Yogi. Outstanding image.
Beautiful colours in the sky.
So beautiful
Brilliant capture.
What a lovely sky shot. The fish video was interesting, too.
Stunning sunset photo! The river is teeming with life.
Very dynamic and creative sky shot ~ some creative editing maybe??? ~ thanks,
Wishing you a Happy Weekend ~ ^_^
Oh my what an incredible shot .
Marvelous combination of sky and ‘land’. Good example where you can violate the ‘rule’ of not having the horizon [roughly] across the middle of the image. The color and clouds are eye-popping; and there is just enough light to make out details along the shore. Kudos!!
That’s a really beautiful and dramatic sky! Cool to see a sturgeon in that river.
Alan, lovely view on your run of the sky. The area lakes are often down this time of year and with drought conditions the lakes are lower than past winters. Although I didn’t share current skywatch shots this week, we had a mix this week of gray, rainy skies and at one point the morning sunrise was gorgeous but then the rest of the day was cloudy and we’re under more rainy skies today. Have a good weekend!
loving the sunset and reflections. That’s alot of fish in the video, definitely don’t have those here.
What dramatic sky!!… Lovely mix of colors and the reflection is gorgeous, too! A very interesting view of the place! Also, the video is amazing! lots of great aspects. Nature has a very unique way to show as her beauty! Have a very good week ahead!
Stunning sky shot! Yes there are whole worlds going on in our rivers and in the ground under our feet. Somehow that gives me hope .
