Description
This is a digital photo of a river here in Olympia, WA. The cement things are hurdles for salmon to jump over so they can make it to the fish hatchery ok.
As defined in the Random House Dictionary: "Materialism 1. the philisophical theory that regards matter and its motions as constituting the universe, and all phenomena, including those of mind, as due to material agencies. 2. emphasisis on material objects and needs, with a disintereset in spiritual values."
Thanks for looking, -Peace :-)

The title grabed my attention - river and materialism - do you know the book of Choegyam Trungpa: Cutting through spiritual materialism? ... Interesting
Good story with the shot. Excellent work, but you know that :)
Hmmm, interesting, love the light in it!
Dappled sunlight....a hard shot to make with such lighting conditions. Exposure seems pretty darn good!
Nice lighted Shot. I don't eat Salmon...so their is One Fish safe from Me! Have a nice Day!
lovely shot, the lighting is beautiful & there's your shadow! :]
Unfortuately, most spawning creeks, and especially urban ones, need the fishway/hatchery help to remain viable, and even that is no guarantee against human's natural avarice and stupidity. That off my chest, nice photo, the title's a grabber and the explanation really fits. Well done. Also thanks for the rant opppotunity.
absolutly beautiful!!!!
intriguing title for a well captured pic.
Beautiful shot, Jeff!! I love the light and shadow:) Great DOF also!! Super job!!
