This river can normally be crssed with shorts on and not even getting your nees wet...... It is currently covering rocks that are over 5 feet high!

[Toad]

From this angle it looks like you will be washed away, Craig!

[Petographer]

Frozen like that it looks like snow and ice. Cool shot Craig.

[wayney]

I agree with peto, I like how everything is frozen in time

[EnglishBob]

I was laying on a rock that goes out about 15 feet into the river.... I did get wet from spray. Here's a pic my wife took.

[Don Schaeffer]

You really caught the motion of the water, crisp and hard. Good photos.

[Irma]

The place looks impressive in your picture Bob. I can imagine the noise of the river. I like the wildness (?) of the place. Great picture! Your wife's picture is great as well. Why is that this river is so high now?

(?) I don't know if this is the proper term.

[Petographer]

I like the one of you on the rocks. That is a cool photo.

[guerito]

Hehe, cool is the proper word. I bet the water is cold!

Very nice pictures, both of them!

[EnglishBob]

The river is roughly 6-8 feet higher than normal, 2 weeks ago it peaked at 13 feet!

The river is flooded more than usual due to two severe storms back to back in the high mountains, and ireonically a very sharp increase in temperature that has melted the winter snow faster than usual.

The waterfalls are better in Yosemite this year than any time in the last 30 years.

Where I am laying on the rock is exactly where the first picture was taken, from a different angle the rock looks almost like a jetty sticking out into the river.

This is about 3 miles down river and shows what it will be like by the end of August.

Great stuff Craig... do people go kayaking/canoeing/rafting there?

[EnglishBob]

Yes, that was why was there, to shoot some white water rafting.

[Peted]

Wow, at first I thought the first shot was ice. Nice perspective.
