Description Yes, this is a road. It was washed out a while ago, during a big storm (i believe it was during that big windstorm we had back in Dec 06). needless to say, the salmon now cross that road. Behind the sandbard there is a raging river over buckled pavement, but couldnt get the shot I wanted. Come next summer, I'll hike this road and fully document the damage (assuming it won't be fixed yet).

Index, WA

OH WOW!!!!!!!! That is so amazing! The power of nature is kind of scary, isn't it?!

i love the mix of human and nature here, with nature as the obvious winner. interesting that the thumbnail looks like a placid little waterfall but upon closer inspection the damage is evident. still looks placid tho... i personally LIKE the deep contrast between the sky and the shades in both corners. this is an interesting capture, nice perspective. thanks for sharing.

its rather humbling, to see how nature doesnt give a hoot about us, and will do her own thing.

I really like this picture. It has an Ansel Adams feel to it with the contrast of black and white. You did a very good job composition wise. ^_^

I really like this shot but there just seems to be something missing... not quite sure what though. Try playing with the channel mixer in monochrome. I think you can get some good stuff out of it

Cool. I don't know what to say.
Other than that I hope there's a detour.

not really a detour, unless you count going about 20 - 30 miles off course

's an awesome shot, but the whites are a bit overexposed and the left side is really dark...

yea, lighting here was quite difficult.

I like it

Its like you have all these really solid hard perspective lines in a picture from the road and then half of it is erroded and broken by the abstract shapes of the waterfall

cool
