Roll On Columbia



The Columbia River of legends that goes back deep into the mist of time.
Nature, explorers, pioneers, dreamers, schemers, movers and shakers of all kinds passed this way.
Now with the river tamed by dams and hemmed in with roads of all types
where millions of people and freight enough to build empires pass through.
No one even gives it a thought but the river knows, yet she rolls on…

I can't help but wonder what will happen to that road if the river fights back...what a great angle. V

Great shot of man's efforts to dominate the river - I'm sure the river will have its way ! V
