This is the river Gaula in Central Norway, passing through a narrow stretch near the small village Hovin on its way to Trondheimsfjorden.

The rapids are photographed during the beginning spring flooding last year.

The rise in water is caused by snow melting in the mountains, and will usually last from beginning of May until mid June.

This period is also when the salmon enter the river. Under the bridge in the far end the salmon stops to rest before attacking the rapids, and this place is also the most valued for fishing in the entire river.

Gaula is one of the best salmon rivers in Norway, each year fishing enthusiasts catch some 30.000 to 40.000 kilo depending on seasonal conditions. Most of the river is open to the public for reasonable fees, but the best places are usually tied up on long-term contracts.

Hi Pablo

What an interesing perspective you have here!
I'm used to photos of rives taken from a lower POV - from their level - but this is great!
The DOF here is also impeccable and it makes everything going all the way to the horizon and still maintaining great details.
Also the composition os wonderful, and that distant aquaeduct is a great toutch.

Cheers and Happy 2007, my friend!

Gran imagen de un espectacular río capturado en todo su esplendor querido amigo.
El punto de vista es maravilloso con intensos colores y contrastes logrando un efecto de profundidad perfecto.
La pesca se practica con mosca en ese río?
Gran trabajo... sin dudas.
Mis mejores saludos y Feliz 2007!!!

Great image of a spectacular river captured in all their splendor dear friend.
The point of view is wonderful with intense colors and contrasts achieving a perfect effect of depth.
Is the fishing practiced with fly in this river?
Great work... without doubts.
My best regards and Happy 2007!!! Ricardo

Hi Pablo.
What a nice view and how well you have done it. The river, stream of water are surprising also it is not similar to the river in the usual sense absolutely. Great impressive POV. Outstanding DOF and details. I like the combination of shadowed left part and well illuminated right part and the sky. Rich, clear and amazing colour palette. Composition with its left to right disposition of main pictured objects is superb.
BRAVO and my best wishes in 2007.
Alexei.

Hola Pablo
Bonito rio el que nos presentas se le ve que es un rio bravo.
Sacaste otras tomas a menor velocidad... el agua parecería como un velo.

Hi Pablo,
A perfect composition to show this long and straight stretch of mountain river Gaula. Lovely riverside with gives a peculiar color to the water. I like to see your rivers, something very uncommon here!
José M.

Hi Pablo,
Very beautiful scenery. Well composed and framed shot. The river takes your eyes right thru the photo. I am sure spring melt really makes that river pretty wild.
Scott

Hi Pablo,
What a nice view and you have done it well.

Pablo,
I'm lucky the water is flowing the other way; if it flowed my way the water would gush into my office ...
that's how good is this capture ... like 3D.
That river has a lot of fish. Great notes too.
Very well presented.
Best regards,
Mario.

Hermoso río. Aquí en Canarias no hay ríos, sólo barrancos y no fluyen todo el año sino los días que llueve.
Bonita imagen rodeado de pinos y al fondo un puente.
Buena nota. Aquí pescamos en el mar.
Saludos, JL

Hi Pablo,
The depth in this photo is just amazing. The way the river takes me all the way down to the end is awesome. Your composition is perfect, with the river in the correct reading direction. Great exposure and sharpness and wonderful to see the freshness of spring just starting to appear in the trees.
TFS,
Niek

Hi Pablo,

One of the best perspective pictures here on TN, you chose a excellent angle, beautiful composition with high angle look upon the river, lovely composition too!

Best regards,

Hi Pablo,
This river seems to be very straight. Nice to view the fast running water. Nice PoV and beautiful natural colors.

Hello Pablo,
I wonder what will be the impact at Spring time this year because of the few snow you seem to have had so far... This is a great POV of this beautiful and majestic river. I like this lightning and composition. I really enjoyed reading those interesting notes. Thanks,

Hi there Pablo,

This a nice shot of a fantastic river. You could have named it "A river runs through it" and add it to my movie title theme. ;) Anyway, the composition is especially pleasing. Well done & TFS!

Hi Pablo!
I like this new presentation of Gaula river. The water is so fast - I wonder how does this salmon catch up with the stream downhill!

Exc. lighting and colors (as always). Thanks a lot!

Hi Pablo. Happy New Year! Good POV of this fast flowing river. With all your snowfall that will provide a lot of water in the spring no doubt. Interesting note about the Norwegian salmon, which is famous in our stores here, half a world away. TFS. Murray.

Well done Pablo.
I like the comp and DOF, good detail, color, & exposure..You can just see the distant bridge and hills as your eye follows the stream, left-right.
TFS!

What a ragin glooking river!

That's a lot of salmon! The salmon runs have been below normal for the past 2 years here. This is an interesting straight stretch of river. There aren't many spots for salmon to hide once they start upstream. You managed great depth of focus here.

Nice spring shot, Pab le. Great subject and I love your perspective here. And. like Evelynn obbserved, this has great DOF. Well recorded.

Nothing wrong with your shot, but I find myself a bit jarred by the direction of the water. I think it's because there is something that looks like a mountain in the bg that seems to be telling me the river should be flowing towards me, but it's not.

Mike

I am trying to catch up with your landscapes I missed during my recent forced absence from TN, Pablo.
Excellent POV from a bridge that offers an impressive depth of view. The speed of the flow I can make out from the texture of water reminds me of the rivers in my native place, though we don't have salmon in them!
Why is the water brownish? Just curious.
Ram

Bonjour,
Excellent point de vue pour cette magnifique rivière.
Bonne journée.
