Every Thursday in July, they hold a kayaking competition at Brennan’s Wave in downtown Missoula.  This was the last one of the summer.  They use the big blue raft in the middle of the first picture to take spectators out to the island in the middle of the river.  I think they’re nice enough to bring them back too. :)  I think it’s cool you can sit and watch stuff like this in downtown Missoula.

I took a lot of pictures during this event and even shot some video.  I haven’t done anything with the video yet.  Maybe someday I’ll put together a little video/still image montage and set it to music…maybe.

The first picture is Reynolds Creek as it runs down from Logan Pass. The second image is the waterfall that occurs just below the first picture as the creek runs down the mountain.  I shot these just before sunset, so this particular valley was completely in shadow.  This allowed me to do some long exposures for that silky water effect.

Tomorrow, you’ll see the last of the pictures from my first trip to Glacier National Park.  One of which, is my favorite landscape image from the entire summer.
