Near the Wedding of the Waters

2007.05.18

According to Wind River Country.com, "When early explorers went through the Big Horn Basin they saw that all the water drained into what they would call the Big Horn River. Explorers from the South came through the Wind River Mountains and named the river found there the Wind River. One did not know the other had named the same river. The river changes names at the Wedding of the Waters just a few miles south of Thermopolis. Here the river leaves the Wind River behind and becomes the Big Horn River."

This shot was taken in the short distance between Wind River Canyon and Thermopolis.

photopoet Such magnificent scenery. I love the way you've captured the sculpted land against the strong diagonal line of the mountain. Just beautiful.
