Click on headline for introduction with photos

By Ed Waggener

Larry Smith, General Manager of The Big Dawg, 99.9 FM, went on one of his favorite stay-cations to Green River Lake and Green River and captured some violent mood swings from the placid lake to a spillway almost as violent as Bull Connor's firehoses in Birmingham of the 1960's to a serene downstream scene, to an almost as peaceful and comforting as, and evocative of, the River Jordan in the Bible.

For viewer convenience, the pictures he took are in an album, linked to this introduction.

Just yards west of the control tower, the stream swung to a violent and dangerous mood, though inspiring for it's white water beauty. Can't remember if I've ever seen it like this before, and know I won't forget it. - LARRY SMITH.
