Foggy Morning on the South Platte River below Denver

Recently, I photographed several water diversion dams on the Poudre and South Platte Rivers. The most rewarding experience was a foggy morning on the South Platte just downstream of the 104th Street (Elaine T. Valente Open Space). See pictures below.

Actually, I’ve never paddled the South Platte between Denver and Brighton. The area has a quite industrial feeling and water quality is poor, especially, at low water levels. I prefer to paddle further downstream away from Denver, but exploring bike trails was a different story. It is certainly possible to find a nice scenery.

I used the Onewheel, electric skateboard, to commute on trails for this photo shoot and Milo for a company. Milo is my pit bull mix newly adopted from a shelter. He behaves very well at home and in backyard, but trails full of distractions are much more challenging.

I added all recent river pictures and video clips to my stock portfolio and they are available for licensing as royalty free images and footage.
