Beauty and the Beast

lilirishangel

Every yr I take a walk about in the spring to the same location to get a feel how it changes and see if it has another side to share.. Well this yr it surely did.

Little history: used to be a mine 50 yrs ago and now it's a lake.
Every year there is more destruction to the grounds than there has I yrs past. Last yr a bank 15 ft high fell to the creek and damged the hillside, but this yr what I caw was not the normal flow. Maybe due to the lack of snow fall this last winter. But the lake is now about 10 feet short of water. I do know water moves where it wants to but it has eroded the bottom lake bed and cut thru about 5 feet deep to reach the lake now.. thought I would share a few from the shoot over the 3 days.

1.this is the bottom of the creek leading to the lake, you can see the changes in the soil on the top and middle

Well I guess they are not as good as I thought

Nice shots over all. The first two have a cyan color cast to them. Watch your exposure on the whitewater, you have some blown out areas on 3, 5 and 6. And don't be afraid to post them at a larger size for a better presentation. Yes, I know Flickr allows that. But most folks won't notice that these are links, or won't bother following them. Looking forward to seeing more of your work.
