The point of entry for the white water rafters into the Murray River running through Lane Poole Reserve looks calm enough...
.. until the pull of the current draws them over the edge!
Up to now you may not have thought these rapids were up to much but I think the perspective in the pics below gives you some idea of their size and rough and tumble! There was much hootin' and hollerin' from all on board as they went over, leading me to believe that it could have been an exhilarating experience.. standing on the edge of the rocks here was all the excitement I needed :) Happy Thursday, take care and stay safe...
Very brave people that venture into those rough waters.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a blast!
ReplyDeleteSplashy Fun!! Your photos are rather metaphoric in way. Kinda of like life, we can ride the currents of chaos. Paddle On & Thanx For Sharing.
ReplyDeleteCheers
I'd be standing on the sidelines beside you, Grace! No way would I be in one of those rafts!
ReplyDeleteSpectacular river and shots, G! I got enough thrill from the pics, thank you :)
ReplyDeleteNot I in that situation either, PDP. I resorted to counting them. I hope nobody popped out. How exciting it must be though!
ReplyDeleteCan't imagine a greater place to be, rowing down that river. Splendid view and photos indeed.
ReplyDeleteI have shot the rapids on the Colorado River. It was exciting and scary.
ReplyDelete...these shots could have been taken in the Adirondacks!
ReplyDeleteThese are fantastic photos! I'm really getting the excitement at all that splashing around. However, like you, I'm just as glad to view it from the sidelines. I'll take their word for it if they say it was fun.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like lots of adventurous fun.
ReplyDeleteNow the river looks normal. Well, maybe a bit crowded in the rafts and with more than one raft out. In any case I'm sure it was a fun adventure.
ReplyDeleteGee Grace, pity about your knee. You could have joined them. It looks.....ah, exhilarating.
ReplyDeleteYes, those rapids look like they mean business. There are some scary looking rocks there. I did that once in my younger days. It's fun if you've got a guide who knows what they're doing.
ReplyDeleteFun times on the river, hope they stayed safe though.

OMG, not for me! Spectacular photos.
ReplyDeleteNo, No, No, I remain on the first two pics !
ReplyDeleteGreat action shots, Grace !
When I'm on dry land, I always feel I'd like to do that, but I think I'd back out before actually stepping into the boat. These are great photos. Lots of white water rafting here in Canada especially in the spring when the snow melts and the rivers are running high.
ReplyDeleteThose are some great action-photos, Grace, but I would never ever join!
ReplyDeleteNot for me either, "just" taking photos would make my day too ;)
ReplyDeleteYour images show lots of excitement!
Looks like crazy fun to me. I sort of feel like I would like to try but think I would chicken out if it came to the crunch!!! Glad that you stayed on to take the photos. Cheers Diane
ReplyDeleteAwesome pics
ReplyDeleteThis is on my bucket list!
ReplyDeleteOh my now that is some white water rafting! Wild stuff, and your captures are just perfect!
ReplyDeleteQuiet introduction and thrilling activities. It's so good.
ReplyDeleteWill you be taking that little raft trip Grace?
ReplyDeleteIt looks like fun, but I'm not sure that I would do it.
Nice action shots!
Great shootings! Arianna
