'Waterlogged' - Crystal Mill, Colorado

            When I look at this image I can't escape the sensation of time passing.

Everything about it smacks of nostalgia.

There's the melancholy of the fading autumnal colours.  The beautifully decaying building with it's best days long in the past and the relentless river carving it's path ever downwards.

Standing in the river getting pelted by heavy rain and photographing such a woebegone scene might seem like a sad pursuit to some.

For me it was a joyous experience.

For this image, I wanted to faithfully represent the action of the tumbling water. I decided to choose a fairly fast shutter speed of 1/4" to capture lots of texture and detail in the white water of the foreground.

To this day I can still smell the forest, still hear the river and still feel the rain on my face.

Thanks for looking
