Monday photo feature

Winter is fast approaching here where I live, but the opposite is true in the southern hemisphere.

As the people on the planet's underside savor the warming temperatures of late spring, there are a number of places down there from which I could have drawn today's photo.  One is the province of Western Australia, where the annual WA Race Week is currently underway at Perth.  This event culminates in a race known as The Doctor, one of the most coveted titles for elite-level ocean racers.  ("The Doctor" is the name of the wind that blows off the Indian Ocean onto the west coast of Australia.)

But for this week's photo feature I think I'll pick a photo from another southern hemisphere nation: Chile.  Native Memphian Boyd Ruppelt is down there right now, enjoying all the Andean whitewater he can stand.  He posted the photo above on his Facebook page: it shows Boyd and friends cruising over one waterfall after another on the Rio Claro.
