Week 9/10

This is a photo of the Colorado River I discovered on my laptop while procrastinating...I mean studying for my finals.  This photo was taken around 7 am this past summer morning from a canoe trip my family and I took down the river.  This photo evokes a sense of happiness and accomplishment.  The canoe trip consisted of a 12 mile track down the river and was on one of the hottest weekends of the summer.  The temperature of the weekend was around 120 F and I remember feeling so incredibly tired and at times not thinking that we would make it.  But, we made it and this photo was a result of the morning after a very long weekend.  I love this photo mainly for the shadow at the bottom of the mountains and the reflection that is being created on the water.  I love that this picture was taken so early yet the sun source is already so powerful.  Reflecting back on when I took the photo, the sun reminded me of a very fast lighting cue.
