for years now i've been driving my boy to and from his mother's place outside of Granite Falls, WA, over a bridge that passes over the south fork of the Stillaguamish River. there's a fish ladder for salmon down on the river below (some 80-100 feet below the bridge deck) and i've always meant to go down and check it out. i happened to have my camera with me today, and it was nice out so it seemed like a nice day for it.
this is a shot looking basically W-SW from the bridge deck:
this shot is from the bank of the river, looking upriver:
here's a fern growing out of a crack in one of the innumerable huge granite boulders:
here's one looking downriver:
all the full size pics, and three short video clips, are in my
online photo album. looking at the pictures it's easy to see how Granite Falls got its name. enjoy :)
