LA River Water Falls

Photographed some waterfalls in the LA River today caused by the latest rain storm.
Used my old Canon Mark 2 camera with a $50 dollar zoom lens, they are used mostly to cover wild fires. Leaning up against the fencing along the river, I was able to shoot long 1/2 second exposures of water falling in to the LA River. The long exposures accentuated the blue in the sky on the normally brownish river water. Some of the colors in the water came out supernatural and creamy looking.

Muddy Waters

This is what a gazillion gallons of muddy rain water looks like. Took this image with my Nikon Coolpix set on panoramic mode, at the Los Feliz Blvd. bridge over crossing the L.A. River.

LA River Expedition Day 2

Day two of the LA River expedition. The kayakers made it through the Glendale Narrows in ankle deep water. Some of the kayakers were also a bit salted from all of the walking, but with blessing from the Mud People and some river dancers, they kept on paddling.

LA River Expedition To Begin

A contingent of kayakers, the LA River Expedition kayak team, will set upon the headwaters of the LA River this Friday at the overpass at Owensmouth (Canoga Park) and paddle to the sea (Long Beach). The 52 mile kayak trip will take two days to complete and will be done in fresh water kayaks made by Pyranha. The objectives of the expedition are to raise consciousness about the LA River and to prove to the Army Corps of Engineers that the river is fully navigable by boat. The Army Corps of Engineers states the river is not-navigable, and no boats are allowed on the river. Hope they make Lewis and Clark proud.
