Description
...just one of many bright spots along the Skykomish River that drains the west side of the Cascade Mountains in the southeast section of Washington's Snohomish County.
...from its headwaters in the South and North Forks to the lower reaches where it meets the Snoqualmie to form the Snohomish it offers everything from whitewater and plunge pools to long, wide runs held in check by classic gravel bars. Anglers interested in float fishing, drift fishing, hardware, plugging, and flyfishing all find plenty of suitable water on the Skykomish River.
...and if this is more than you needed to know, hope you'll just enjoy the cool mountain atmosphere along with me:)

Superb capture Bill. God Bless.
wonderful capture Bill! One of these days, I should bike up there
great photo - wish i could join you, love washington, lived in tacoma 3 years
Very Cool photo Bill!
There is so much to see in this shot, and the colors are amazing! Water does some pretty nifty color shifts when it gets busy like this, and this is quite busy: I can see whitewater, plunge pools, and something suspiciously mythical in here...well...at least Homeric. That's pretty cool. It's not every day you can look at water and think: "Aha! Homer must have seen one of these things when he needed to get Odysseus into the hard spot that he got out of, a number of pages later!" Well...that's the way my brain works at any rate." Well, OK...Homer wrote in lines and not pages, but still...you get the point. Oh, and have you noticed how this comment is shaped kinda like that water: It's all over the place, roiling, churning, plunging. And all of that is to say that I love this shot. It's so dramatic! Who needs epics like The Hobbit when rivers can be quite epic and entertaining and free to see? This is brilliant.
My kind of river; love the color!!
It´s a real wonderful and perfect photo.Hat off!
Very well photographed.
Fantastic capture!!
Such a gorgeous pic! I do love those names!
Pretty capture Bill!

I love that cool blue-green of the water in the back of the shot; I can almost hear the rush of the water, what a lovely capture!
Beautiful shot - I love free-running waters like this.
Beautiful water shot Bill.. I'm still trying to get the best of these.. But, getting better.. You've taken another really lovely one here, well taken. Rob
WOW! That is indeed a beautiful capture, Bill! The green colors with the red rocks and the white foam is just fabulous.
Love the focus of this image..the water collecting and falling over the rocks. Beautifuly captured
I love this low angle Bill! Your shutter speed is also slow enough to just show the movement of the water! Well done! :)
The water is so clear, beautiful pic!!
Awesome pic Hugs Susan~
Stellar capture, Bill.
Great image! I love the colors you've coaxed out of the water, and the slight blur to the whitewater gives the photo a lovely mood. Nicely done! :*
An absolutely beautiful photo, Bill! I remember a long time ago when I was just a little kid, we were up in that area and stopped at Snoqualmie Falls. I was very young, but I remember it being extremely beautiful.
Wonderful low POV of this beautiful river Bill!!
very beautiful. the color of the water reminds me of Wind and Snake rivers
Beautiful capture.
