At 2 AM in the morning I lay on a boulder in the middle of the Llano river awaiting the moon to appear from behind a cover of clouds. Once clear I shot this double exposure of moon and whitewater rapids near Art, Texas. It was a time of reflection as only the rivers voice broke the stillness of this moon lit night.
