Second... a large print of a *really similar* picture used to hang up in the ferry building. I took a picture of that picture and everyone was like "that's amazing- how did you get that shot." And I was all like "you have to be up there at 7:30 to get the mist and before the ferry traffic is queuing up..." before finally working your way into "taking a picture in the ferry gift shop building."

On a serious note: there is still hope for humanity. Just scrape off the top layer and we're back in business.

Low angle light may help make a photo more dramatic but it's also a scary time to be out riding a bike into it.
Luckily, the Middle Fork Road is a dead end road that ultimately ends in a designated wilderness area that sees little traffic on weekday afternoons...

Really funny how a bunch of wooden stakes can make you feel thirsty. Extra mega water-won't-fix-this- thirsty
