My Little Town

Last week I stopped by the waterfall for which my town is named, Post Falls. Our falls are dammed for electric power, and only a couple of the gates are open now so that the Spokane River and Lake Coeur d'Alene (upstream) are full for summer water fun.

This image is of the graceful bridge which spans the Spokane River just below the falls. In the foreground you can see some of the eddies created by the water rushing over the rocks and dam. Then the river smooths out as it travels north and west into Spokane.
