So I stand on the bank and close my eyes. The noise is almost overwhelming, but so is the rushing air, the waves creating their own turbulence as they whip underneath the overhanging branches and out of sight.
I plant my feet in the damp earth below, careful to avoid taking an unintentional swim. A nearby tree offers up a comforting place to brace myself securely against the chaos as I set up the camera.
It takes 1/6th of a second to capture this image, blurred pixels crafting a reality that not even my eyes can see for themselves. I imagine the waters will soon recede, and by summer this very spot will be barely a trickle.
As I pack up the camera and head back to the real world, I quietly remind myself that not all storms last forever.
