Description
The Big Thompson River in northern Colorado tends to flood its banks every once in a while and can be deadly. Signs are now posted advising people to climb to safety in case of flood. I narrowly missed the big flood of 1976 by diverting south to Salida when I saw the storm clouds forming over the Big Thompson Canyon. I didn't however,miss this shot of road workers erecting a still standing sign on the Highway just at the east end of the canyon.
The original image was made on Ektachrome film and has faded a bit but I managed to digitize the image and convert it to black and white for this post.
