Last week we went to Minden, Ontario to look at the flooding there. While we were in the area, we went to the Gull River where the rapids are. The water was quite high as you can see in the two pictures below. You can usually walk beside the river and sit on the bench.
I didn’t have my tripod with me, but I thought I would try taking some pictures with a slower shutter speed. I leaned against a tree whenever I could to try to keep the camera shake down. I need to start keeping a tripod in the trunk in case we stop for pictures.
Water can look so different, depending on how you set your shutter speed.

It’s interesting when you think of water. It can be enjoyable to look at and listen to, and can provide all kinds of fun. But when water is out of control as it has been in our area, there can be a lot of destruction.
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Now the earth was formless and empty,
darkness was over the surface of the deep,
and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
Genesis 1:1,2
