“Buffalo Eddy”
Description:
The Snake River flows past the basalt cliffs of Buffalo Eddy in Nez Perce National Historical Park, an area known for ancient petroglyphs carved by the Nez Perce. Photographed from the Washington side, this long-exposure view highlights layered Columbia River Basalt, desert vegetation, and the remote landscapes along the Idaho–Washington border.
Story:
As the sky began to darken in anticipation of rain, the swollen river moved through a desert landscape made green by recent storms. A lone hut across the water showed the only sign of civilization, and it immediately caught my eye.
Using a very long exposure, the swirls in the Snake River blended into silky patterns that added to the feeling of isolation around that tiny building. I found myself wondering what it was used for and who, if anyone, stayed there.
The streaks in the moving clouds suggested the passage of time and made the hut feel almost like a permanent refuge for a weary traveler, a place of stability despite the peaks and valleys of life.
I photographed this scene from the Washington side of the river near petroglyphs carved long ago by the Nez Perce. Their presence adds to the sense of history and quiet endurance that Buffalo Eddy carries.
