“Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it.

“Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was cut by the world’s great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time. On some of the rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words, and some of the words are theirs.

I am haunted by waters.”

- Norman Maclean, "A River Runs Through It"

  1. Thanks Alik Griffin!
    Unfortunately I was unable to make it to Scott Jarvie's recent photowalk in Utah, or join Michael Bonocore, roma g and Natalia Stone as they made their way through the state. It'll be a while before I can return, so for the moment I have to settle for updating an old album from past visits.

  3. Great photo. I grew up near many big rivers in Northern California. That photo looks like its near Brice Canyon, Utah. Great book and that's a beautiful passage selected from that book. Every river has a story.

  4. Zion...So much Grander than the Grand Canyon! Angels Landing is one scary climb:-)

  7. Thanks everyone!
    James weikart Some were taken on the Canon Digital Rebel XT or XTi, some on a Canon Powershot G5, possibly some on a Canon EOS 40D if I bought mine by 2007 (probably later).

  23. J. Rae Chipera Thanks, I was wondering what happened... what a pleasant surprise! I had just been noticing that some combination of being out in the field for 11 days and the new site layout seemed to have knocked down interaction on G+. Nice surprises like this restore my confidence that people are still participating in the site, and fuel my optimism that some day Google could adjust the operation of G+ to make participation in the site much broader, and more rewarding for both the people who appreciate nice images and the people creating and presenting them.

  24. James Rogers I haven't explored The Maze yet, but I'm looking forward to doing so some day.

  25. There's a guy my age with the same name ... So I was like, wow maybe it's him!

    But then I read what you posted and well... He'd never write that. He might write something about a squatch or a baboon but... Nothing like that. :)

  26. Thank you for sharing your images. As an avid flyfisherman, I can truly appreciate the vista, and a life with a river which runs through it.

  28. Samantha Diamond This Norman Maclean lived in Montana, wrote a semi-autobiographical collection book of three stories, and one of them "A River Runs Through It" was made into a movie, directed by Robert Redford and starring Brad Pitt.

  29. Gary Louie I grew up exploring the ponds and swamps of Massachusetts and the streams of New Hampshire, catching snakes, frogs, turtles and fish. I was fortunate to go on two cross-country trips at age 12 and 15, when I discovered in places like Rocky Mountain National Park that flyfishing could produce great results. I moved to California at age 14 and started backpacking and tying my own flies, and when I obtained a driver's license I started exploring the Sierra Nevada on weekends and Summer break. I still flyfish when the opportunity presents itself, and I flew to Missouri to join a a group of guides starting to film a movie there. One of them got injured and they ran out of budget quickly, but I'd still like to film a flyfishing movie once I complete a couple of current projects. I have a concept in mind to develop once I get a gap in my current workload. The phrase "I am haunted by waters" definitely resonates with me.

    Know of any good circles on G+ for fishing/flyfishing? I'll go do a search on them now.

  30. Nicole Skaggs A lot of those snakes bit me, and I stepped on a lot of rusty nails and got a lot of tetanus shots, but I wouldn't trade a moment of it.
