Mystic River by lostheart on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

This image was shot close by the site where the first Neandertal, long believed to be our prehistoric ancestors, was found.
New studies show that this is not true, but Neandertals and modern humans diverged genetically about 500,000 to 600,000 years ago and Neandertals did not contribute genetic material to modern humans.

Good…I never wanted those dudes to be my ancestors anyways!

Enough of this…close by this site is a beautiful creek making its way through hills and forests.
My girlfriend is living close by, so we often go there for a walk.
We even saw some people having a threesome there not too long ago! Makes this area even cooler!

I hope you like this "Mystic River"…

-Zoom at 100mm

-minor PS tweaks i.e. color correction, unsharp mask, burning here and there & cropping it to a panoramic format
