Title: Early Saturday Morning, Shadow and Me!
Post by: Michael Alexander on June 22, 2008, 08:56:00 AM
Well I did a strange thing on Saturday morning.... I headed down to the river mouth before the sun came up ....My best friend Shadow went with me.... we caught the sun as it was rising above Alex Bay...... man it was so quiet and really relaxing, here are a few snaps....

I would had liked to be with you on that early morning photo shooting......

I sometimes take up to 300 pics when cycling.....real good ones amount to a ratio of 2 in 100 LOL

Ya, I think I have the same problem , out of the 54 photo's I took, I had to delete about 20 of them...... that time of the morning the river is so peaceful , the smell, reminds me of camping days..... that muddy water smell......

Beautiful pics Mike, boy, I remember that smell too, and the soft "kabbel" of the water licking at the shore.
