Description
The girl on the cliff is getting ready to jump into the water. She is hesitating, partly I think of the height (it looks a lot higher from her point of view than from my perspective) and partly of the anticipated entry into the cold water. This location is slightly downstream from my previous post of McDonald Creek.
The people in the picture are park visitors enjoying a day in the sun. It is calm, hot, hazy from the forest fire on the other side of the mountain, but the water is ice cold - it is glacial runoff.
Shortly after I took this picture all the people ran downstream and when I asked somebody about the commotion they informed me that a Black Bear had shown up, either to go fishing or cool off, but the people scared him back into the woods. By the way, Glacier National Park also has grizzlies.
This picture was taken on 13 August 2015, Sig...

Looks like a very nice site for a dip.I wouldn't want to share it with a grizzly,though! Cool capture.
Gorgeous photo!
Lovely place, but it looks a bit shallow for a jump. Well youngsters are fearless.
Great candid capture
I've jumped into a stream that was only a quarter mile long and glacier fed - cold does not begin to describe the condition
great capture Sig
I see the jumper. cool shot
Better her than me! I've jumped into ice cold water when it was really hot out, and it wasn't at all what I was expecting. Not fun! WOnderful capture!
What an absolutely gorgeous place.
Beautiful shot!
Exellent.

Looks like she is the only one contemplating to go in, the rest are happy in the sun!
It looked very tempting until I read about the cold!
Stunning capture my friend. God bless.
