#2147 "Dumoine Grande Chute Mist"

Mark Patton and I headed out early to the bridge over the Grande Chute. The overnight rain combined with the southwesterly flow of heat and moisture were perfect conditions for morning fog and mist. These moody lighting effects were not to be missed. I set up on the middle of the bridge and got lost in the zone. You cannot hear any vehicles approaching over the bridge. The first indication of a car is the trembling in the planking. People were very polite and never used their horns. We did try to stay out of the way though.

The viewing angle hides the head of the Dumoine Dinosaur or the serpent at the favourite swimming hole. The water was quite dark like tea and turned into a mocha froth when the water was tumbled over the rocks of La Grande Chute. I tried to capture the energy and the colours. There is intended to be motion in the commotion. Dark water can make diving dangerous as the visibility is greatly reduced. I kept my head above the froth.
