Down to the River We'd Ride

Elwha River, Olympic National Park, WA
Canon EOS Rebel T5i, EF 17-40mm f/4 L USM, 1/40s, f/6.3, ISO: 100
I posted a photo a few days ago if the Elwha River emerging from a canyon a couple of miles or so from the place where a dam had been removed a couple of years ago.  The river was running gray in the photo,  laden with silt that had backed up over the years behind the dam.  This photo was taken just above where the dam had been.  As you can see, there's still a lot of earth to be removed by the river.  Eventually this view will disappear as the trees return to the riverbanks.
