The Warning Sign (in case you can't read it) tells of the many swimmers that drowned there over the years.

Now this place looks very stark and I don't think I'd dive in too readily - excellent B&W tones Doug.

I agree with Kathy. It is certainly not inviting. Your image in b/w makes it even more so. Good shot Doug.

A great place for a dramatic black & white, which you've so aptly captured, but a scary place in which only an idiot would swim (dark water of undetermined depth is one of my phobias). Did you submit this to Lyn's Wednesday B&W contest? A winner for certain.

If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.

Some deadly undertow there for certain. Fine composure and terrific B+W image.

Looking good in black and white, but looks like a dangerous place.

Superbly done in the B&W it sure has a stark, and not too inviting feel. tigs=^..^=

Doug - The diagonal line divides the placid water from the white water and stratus clouds. Well done!

A good b/w presentation of the scene, Doug.
