This image was taken at Cascade Locks on the Columbia River right underneath the Bridge of the Gods. All Barge traffic can only go through Bonneville Dam during daylight hours and the train was stopped waiting for another train going the other way to clear the main tracks. Daylight was right at the point to where the barge was getting ready to start up and the train moved shortly thereafter. Ten minutes later and, other than the power transmission tower in the background, it would be hard to see much of mans’ presence from this vantage point. It makes an interesting study in contrasts. Man against Nature, Hard against Soft.
