Here's a few more of my new shots, from various locations.
I have a funny story too, well maybe not funny.
A few minutes after taking that first photo, I was down the path a bit further, and near the edge, about 30 feet above the river, and taking some shots when my CF card filled up. I opened the door and pressed the little eject button to remove it. I must have pressed the button too hard, being in a hurry, and the card shot out of the camera like a bullet. I just barely got my hand on it and deflected it out over the edge of the cliff and down into the river
I searched for 10 minutes, leaning over the edge, and I finally spotted it. It took me about 30 minutes, with my pants rolled up, wading down the river to find the card, but I did, and after a full 24 hours of drying out, it worked! I got the images off of it! It was under 3 feet of water for over a half hour. Murky river water. I can't believe it. So, be careful when you remove your CF cards from now on!
Shot #2 there is from when I got down off of the path and started to walk up the river. I had put another card in to take more photos. Man, it was cold!
