Scarcity

It is all about economic scarcity - how to choose between use scarce resources. But here I suppose both would end in a freezy bath - if it was a real conflict ;)

Re: Scarcity

The picture was set up for a funny Christmas Card shot by a friend who runs a river rafting/ kayaking business. The kayaker & I both stayed dry.
Peace, Jim

Thanks, Jim ...

You probably wouldn't be surprised to
learn of all the real-life "user conflicts"
we have in central Arizona. The kayakers
and the jet-skiers for one, and the
hang-gliders and pilots for another.
Can't we all just ... get along???
Funny picture, Jim.

Freaking hilarious. Also funny because the Poudre has had its share of climber/rafter feuds most recently about access to the Palace sport climbing area during high water.

Re: Awesome

Thanks ... I haven't done any climbing in Poudre Canyon for quite awhile, so wasn't aware of the current conflicts.
Peace, Jim

Re: Awesome

Yeah, a few years ago some climbers set up a tyrolean over the river to access the new sport development at the Palace (quarter mile up stream from the tunnel). It was a good 15-20 ft. over the river but the rafters cut it down. I haven't seen another tyrolean set up again.

gotta love the overextended swing of the axe in preparation to collide with the kayaker's face. too funny!

On the edge of disaster...

Great fast shutter speed. I love how the water just looks like it's frozen. :) See if you can get that same shot in June. It would have an agreeable symmetry to it. :) Most Ice Kayaking accidents involve taking out an Ice Climber on the way down. The rest involve not sticking the landing. :) Ok, I'm done.
