Great skies earlier today!

I found some interesting symmetry and warm morning light. Out shooting with the Canon SL2 200D DSLR + Sigma 17-50mm F/2.8 OS lens. My trusty Manfrotto tripod is with me as always!

Water level has remained high for a while now. During dry spells this stream doesn’t show much surface water.
