Fuji A typical Elliott adventure

[Jock Elliott]

"Gee, the weather was marvelous!" -- not us.

This is Peebles Island, Waterford, NY, on a rainy day. Brought the Big Kahuna (RX10 MkIV) in case we saw eagles, but never unholstered it.

Everything shot with XP90 on Auto setting.

From the bridge. That's Peebles Island on the left. That's water from the Mohawk River on its way to join the Hudson River.

Water was so high at the rapids on the South side that they looked almost flat:

Nice adventure. Even though the weather does not seem to want to cooperate, being out in nature is better than not!

Two days later. Not raining. Brought the RX10 IV.

Rapids back to normal.
