Spring rapids
The Crystal River dwindles to a flow of forty cubic feet per second in late winter. Fueled by the spring melt, it surges to over two thousand cfs at its peak, usually in May. Yesterday it was flowing at four hundred cfs when I set up my tripod to take this shot. I still had the neutral density filter on the camera, as I was hoping to capture the "hidden falls" I discovered last year. That had yet to start flowing, so I figured I would get what I could, despite the cloudy skies. As long as the colors remain muted, I'll continue to convert to black and white.
