Flash flood

As I posted earlier, I drove through Sequoia National Forest yesterday. I was driving through Kern River canyon when I noticed how black the river was. Since I know nothing about the river, I assumed that its natural state. But as it turned out that for past two days it had rained in the mountains, resulting in flash flood in the area and hence the mud in the river. Here are few shots of Kern showing the blackness of the river due to the mud by your very own correspondent here at Bakersfield. :)
