Black & White images from a 2021 Firth river Trip

The Firth.

“A river is water is its loveliest form; rivers have life and sound and movement and infinity of variation, rivers are veins of the earth through which the lifeblood returns to the heart.”
— Roderick Haig-Brown

Hiking, Floating, and fishing is pretty unreal on this river system.
