Thanks.

Just for the sake of information, that location is 1000 feet above the water.
It sure looked like a log way down. No railings.

Wonderful image, Alan.
I've never had enough guts to crawl up that close to the edge.
All of my images have the lower part of the river cut off by the foreground.
Great job.

Thanks Bill. I didn't have the guts either.
I crawled up to the edge then laid down, and had my arms and head hanging over.
Then cheated a little more and used the live view on my 50D to hang my camera out just a tad more.
