I created “Crossing” while scouting the area with another location and potential image in mind.  While walking down an old pack/hiking trail near Aspendale I was surprised and thrilled to find this beautiful log bridge spanning the river and leading to a number of young golden aspen trees in full color.  I had found a similar bridge nearby a year earlier but was unable to find a composition I liked as the scene, while tranquil, simply didn’t have anything to really catch the viewer’s eye.  This bridge on the other hand…with the rushing river, open space and beautiful golden trees was perfect!

@JohnL - Thanks much!

Lovely scene -- the water and splashes of color really make the shot.

Nice illustration of the terminal nature of human efforts.
A great photograph is absorbed by the eyes and stored in the heart.
