Suspension Snap Shot by kwind

Suspension Snap Shot

These images were taken yesterday on our hike to the Elk Falls Suspension Bridge in our hometown of Campbell River, BC, Canada. My son, who was previously terrified to cross the bridge, is standing almost in the middle of the 64m (210') long span. The shot on the right shows the falls, which are currently flowing 170% of what they normally do. We've had a LOT of rain and BC Hydro is releasing some of the water from the dam that is above. The left image shows the water continuing it's journey down stream.

If you have a moment check out this amazing video that showcases the area... http://www.campbellriver.travel/attractions-activities-landmarks/elk-falls-suspension-bridge/
That would scare the life out of me -well done to your son!

That water looks like it is gushing over the edge - spectacular scenery and I can imagine the sounds the water was making.

What a beautiful part of the world you inhabit. Spectacular falls, but I would be terrified. The noise must be thunderous with that volume of water flowing.

Great triptych. It does look rather scary to cross the bridge though.

So impressive to see how he's overcome his fear, and what an amazing scene to be able to share with us. Works so well as a triptych.

Congrats to your son. Quite the thundering water! Your triptych works well, to showcase the views from your hike.

Beautiful and impressive! High five to your son!
March 14th, 2016  
Fabulous triptych- really shows the location so well - I can understand your son's hesitation - besides being a suspension bridge, the noise from the falls must be quite loud - that would frighten me on solid land!

This is a great shot of a beautiful area. I don't blame your son about not liking to cross it.... I hate having to look down when you can see below when walking across something like this I don't like heights. We know Campbell River area.... I have family who live on the Island.
March 14th, 2016  
WOW...this is awesome. I am not sure I could cross it either....my balance is not what it used to be. But how beautifully you presented it.
March 14th, 2016  
Looks like a great place to spend time with your family!
March 14th, 2016
