Superb shot, beautiful contrast, well composed, and sharp end-to-end. Was there a fire at the bushes on the left? Posted 10 years ago

  Thanks Ferdy. I do not believe the brush on the left bend was discolored by fire. It is the natural color of hydrated desert scrub and other vegetation in the area. If you look at the opposite bank you will see the same brush extending upstream. I have not seen another picture of this bend at this vantage point. We road ADV bikes on very primitive roads to get there. Posted 10 years ago, modified 10 years ago
