The left side of the canyon (from where this picture was taken) is higer in elevation than the right, even though the right appears higer.

The sun was setting. I set up with a tripod on a boat dock to get the prespective of being on the water. The wind was blowing and you can see the ice that is starting to form on the side of the riverbank.

I turned around from making the Snake River Burley Idaho shots and saw this. This bridge is just an ugly modern structure and I would not have given it a second look in normal day light. It pays to look around because things change as the light shifts. By this time my hands were frozen and I had to give it up for the day.

This image was made with the camera set on a tripod. The reflexion of the clouds in the river show how grey the sky was. Without a grad filter I had to lighten the shot in Photoshop Elements to see the canyon walls better. The river is much lower here than in the shots taken in Burley as a result of drought and the need to hold the water back in the dams upriver. When we first moved here from Colorado the river ran from wall to wall of the canyon here even in the fall.
