The thing with the river is, the angles in which both photos were taken are slightly different (I was present while the newer version was taken). The original was taken with the photographer standing more to the right, and in the newer one, the photographer is standing more towards the left. The river did move slightly, as you can tell when you view both originals, but other than that, perfect! Great job! It is the exact same photo!!

I said to my wife, " We camped there." The only way to prove it was this simple overlay of these two worlds. It is the close encounters "mountain". The mountain was and is formed by highly compressed rock rising up from the ground in that spot. As the rock solidifies, it creates similarly symmetrical six sided posts of rock. Sort of like bundled cable - very unique geological feature. I was amazed when I first saw the original. I said to my wife, ” We camped there.”
