Sump'in a bit different pa

Had a chance at getting some snaps of a new subject... wakeboarders! Fun times... I found it to be a real treat and nice change of scenery with its own set of challenges to work with namely my limted ability to work different angles. Overall I really liked doing it and was rewarded with some great images.

Boat Race Weekend!

This is the start / Finish line of the Lamb Weston Columbia Cup Hydroplane Boat Race Course here in Tri Cites, WA.

Right now it sits alone quietly overlooking the river, a calm before the storm type moment......as the boats will filter in this week to begin testing and trials the park will continue its transformation it anticipation of some 60,000 boat race fans over the course of the weekend (July 29-31th) as they converge on the mighty Columbia river in hopes of getting an eye full of the action that so many come here to see.
