Maligne Canyon, Jasper National Park, Canada, 2009

The Maligne river vanishes from sight, only to emerge later at the bottom of a limestone canyon. I shot straight down into the canyon, where the river reflects the clear blue sky overhead. Looking very much like a huge blue fish here, the river becomes a powerful abstraction.

You would have loved Maligne Canyon in Jasper, Tim -- I could have stayed there shooting for a half hour, but I was part of a tour group and its waiting bus, so I simply grabbed this shot as I passed by, and it worked quite well to express that slice of history you mention. I remember your similar shot made three years ago with in Arizona quite well -- it does indeed make a similar point.

Since I just commented on the image of the arches in the palace in Bucharest as a rainbow of history. This image is another look at the results of eons of history - yet time still flows through it. This image reminds me of this image of mine: http://www.pbase.com/mityam/image/56229003 .
