A very sad picture for me. At first I thought eons of geologic transformation but took a closer look. That entire landslip and the river being rerouted was the recent effect of clear cut logging. All the nearby trees are less than 50 years old. The nearby road isn't designed for vehicle traffic. It's a logging skid road.

and tied her with fences and dragged her down." -When the Music's Over, The Doors.

Both beautiful and sad at the same time , personally I think the lighting is perfect, it gives just the right amount of foggy moodiness for the human destruction in the picture. The river giving light and life is even more perfect.

I was working a job monitoring whitebark pine (Pinus albicaulis) in the area, I have never seen so many unauthorized cut blocks...truly a far cry from the original landscape. All I can say is things do not look good for interior BC's forests and especially whitebark pine. Unfortunate as many unique species use it as a food source. One of these is the Clarks Nutcracker (Nucifraga columbiana) though I'm sure it will be getting a new name soon.

I only had a 58mm for this photo so some heavy cropping was needed. Fine for internet but not so good for print. I'll go back at some point with a longer lens.
