This was the same scene in the above photograph in 1984 taken in the same place.
As you can see most of the components that are present in the photo taken in September 2008 are present in this photo taken in July of 1984 except that the small dam in the narrows near the two hemlock trees on the right is not there and there is much more water in the foreground. The large rock in the photo above (and below) is just barely showing in this photo. This means the beaver, in the intervening 24 years changed the way the water was distributed in this specific location and the dam was moved just a few feet downstream from the left edge of this photo.
