    Flash Flood photo??

    Someone sent me a great photo of a flash flood, P5310067, maybe in Leprechaun?
    5/31/2009 Olympus Camera. Looking for detailed info, photographer, and permission to use...

    Thanks

    Tom

    If I were there I am sure I would have been just a little concerned. Crazy photo.

    I took it. upper west canyon. We had just entered a narrow section when a lightening bolt ripped on top of us. The waterfalls happened almost instantly. The rain started and and I got my wife out of the slot-my companions keep going up canyon. It dumped for 10 min or so though the canyon didn't really flash. Quit an intense moment. How did this photo surface? You may use it as you like.

    can you say "time to get a move on"?
    But if I agreed with you, we would both be wrong.

    Cool, thank you. I don't know, it was on my thumb drive, I thought it was from Hank or Jenny. I have the "full size" version, so I don't know... unless you load the full size to Picassa?

    Would you like a photo credit, using your real-world (such as it is) name? Also, I'd like to send you a few calendars, so would like a mailing address??? perhaps you would be so kind as to email it to me at: CanyoneeringUSA at gmail dot com

    Thanks.... Tom

    I hope so... we'll see how long it takes to actually print them - they say they are fast.

    Well, at $ 2000.00 each calendar Canadian, I can practically bring it up and put it on your wall myself... How many dozen would you like, sir?

    YES, I hope to have them about Dec 1 - but " we'll see ".
