Two afternoons ago, I decided it was time for a long overdue visit to Great Falls National Park. Despite the thunderstorms rolling through the area, I went in hopes of capturing some images of the resident Great Blue Herons in rain, and eventually hoping to capture the sunset as the storms moved out. I wasn’t able to get many photographs of the Great Blue Herons as they were being unusually uncooperative, but the storms did begin to move out of the area about a half an hour before sunset. A clear horizon to the West and storm clouds to the East provided an awesome light show! Despite the excellent sunset color, this was the only image I took that I really like. The water at Great Falls is running very high, and drought conditions are actually preferable there as it reveals more interesting foreground rocks.

Thanks Grandma
Real nice shot, Chris. It looks like an awesome place. Just curious, would you happen to know what the orange spot on the opposite bank is?
Happy shooting!!

Hi Paul,
Thanks for stopping in. It’s a log stranded on top of a rock, deposited there by flood waters.
I like how you used the rocks as a leading line here Chris. Looks like a great spot.
