These photos so happen to be of the Rat River. The same river the bridge in the previous photos crosses. Only, this is over 100km away. A friend of mine told me about this location a long time ago but tonight worked out to be a good night to finally go check it out. You MIGHT be able to get to this point by car but I doubt it. Truck/SUV or ATV would be the only way. Or a LONG walk from the highway.

With the huge dump of rain we recently got, the rivers are running wild!

This was a tough location to shoot at. There were too many trees in the way.  I hope to return in Fall or Winter.

One last addition from last night’s shoot.

Sunday, after dinner with my parents and aunt and uncle, I took a little detour on the way home. I was on the hunt for a location to shoot a sunset as there was quite a nice sunset happening. Unfortunately, I didn’t find a spot in time to get a good shot of the sunset. I did manage to find myself at the Rat River Bridge on Hwy. 305. It’s hard to believe that just a few weeks ago the water was almost touching the bottom off the bridge. These are all shot HDR but I have been working on my black and white conversion technique and decided to make these black and white. Except for the first image of course. Enjoy!

Right where my house is you can’t see the horizon as I am surrounded by trees. If I walk to the road you can kind of see the horizon but only a small sliver. To really know, I have to get in the car and drive. I was talking to my Mom earlier last night and she can see the to the west very well. I asked her how it was looking. Based on her description, I made my decision to head out. Had she NOT told me, I wouldn’t have. Very happy I did. I stopped by a great spot I was at a couple of weeks ago. (See St. Labre Sunset)
