Default a river so beautiful
a river so beautiful


wave1

At last he reached a river so beautiful and wide
But the current was so strong he could not reach the other side
And the weary travelling man looked for a ferryman strong enough to row against the tide

a river so beautiful

Beautiful, Steve. I love the softness of the motion blur in the waves contrasted with the sharp surf.

Steve, I'm drawn to the curl at the end of your shot. In the midst of all that rush of water, that place seems quiet. PS. We have rivers in Arizona. Dang pity they so rarely have water in them.

Your shots are always so amazing....I almost didn't look at this because I was expecting something else.

Hi Steve - I can almost hear the waves breaking .... not the big crunching sound - but a subtle gentle break .... excellent
