The photo was taken from above the rapids after successfully getting up over them.

About a mile upstream from the launch we encountered some minor "rapids."  No problem for most paddlers, but this photographer is a chicken... After some deliberation, we paddled furiously and managed to get up over this small obstacle.  The rest of the trip was lovely, still flatwater - until on the return trip we had to maneuver down through this same stretch with the speed of the rushing water.  Afterwards we laughed at our fears:  the rocks missed, the canoe not capsized, why had we worried?
