Salmon Homecoming

Uploaded: September 15, 2007

Description

I was lucky enough the other day to stumble upon the local Native American celebration of Salmon Homecoming. There was food, music and dancing as well as the canoes coming into the harbor with the sound of native drumming along the pier. The original was a little noisy so I used one step noise removal and edge preserving smooth then sharpened in Corel XI.

Looks like they were having fun. Love the blue of the water here and the placement of the boat.

We're neighbors today with similar themed images. #4793260
