The Water Keeps Flowing
Time and Water - It keeps flowing

Often during dryer periods this particular spot will have almost no flowing water but last weekend with the run off from winters heavy rain and snow there was a strong current. I sat, watched and listen for a while, finally raising my camera and make this photo.

I used multi-exposures process to retain some details in the deep shadows.

Have a great weekend everyone! I shall be yet another year older this weekend — I thought the title fit both that fact and the photo. ;-)

  3. Hi Earl,

    Great photo, I love the highlights and shadow details. The movement of the water seems sureal. Hope you have a great weekend, Birthday Boy, haha.

  4. Thanks, everyone!

  5. Happy Birthday ! Let it flow ! :-)
    Gorgeous picture !

  6. I like this tumbling water with all the rocks. Nice job of processing. Too bad we can put “life” in PS and do some tweaking! :-) I hope you have a marvelous birthday weekend!

  7. Happy Birthday! Love the photo great texture in the water!

  8. Happy Birthday to you, Earl, and a happy, healthy and peaceful next year of life!
    The rich tones in this image are very well captured, definitely worth the effort of multiple exposures.

    • Markus, thanks, I’ve been a little remiss in replying to comments but am back now. I’m glad you enjoyed the image.

  9. Very beautiful capture!

  10. Life passes by as that river, sometimes. Or most of the times, perhaps. Lovely image!
    But, foremost, a late H A P P Y B I R T H D A Y wish from my side.

    • Ove, thank-you. Some time ago I past that point when birthdays are a big deal. There comes a time where you don’t want to give them too much notice because they come and go so quickly — but, I certainly do appreciate the well wishes. :-)

  11. Wow! Such a good deal. You have a birthday and you treat us to a gorgeous photo. Will you also be serving chocolate cake—maybe even ice cream? I hope you have a splendid weekend and a grand celebration!

    I’m glad you mentioned the processing because I wouldn’t have noticed (that’s perfect), but you did an excellent job. Love it.

    • Anita, I’d be happy to serve both! :-) It’s so great to see you back on the Internet — that’s birthday gift enough.

  12. Wow! What a welcome! Save me two pieces of cake and I’ll skip the ice cream.
