Looking South, This Quiet, Peaceful Scene Of The Canyon & River Bridge Ahead, Has a Blue Appearance =>
….This Because It Is Mostly Illuminated By Blue Light From The Blue Sky, =>
…….But Notice Small Places, Which Are in Direct Sunlight (Such As The White, Distant Building And The Brown Cliffs Beyond Bridge), By Contrast, They Are Normal Colors.

THE NARRATOR MENTIONS “PEACE OF MIND” 24 TIMES IN ZMM !!
..****************..
….“ Peace of mind isn’t at all superficial to technical work. It’s the whole thing. That which produces it is good work and that which destroys it is bad work.
….The specs, the measuring instruments, the quality control, the final check-out, these are all means toward the end of satisfying the peace of mind of those responsible for the work. What really counts in the end is their peace of mind, nothing else.
….The reason for this is that peace of mind is a prerequisite for a perception of that Quality which is beyond romantic Quality and classic Quality and which unites the two, and which must accompany the work as it proceeds.
….The way to see what looks good and understand the reasons it looks good, and to be at one with this goodness as the work proceeds, is to cultivate an inner quietness, a peace of mind so that goodness can shine through. ” (Cont. Next) (ZMM passage bolded by HSG ZMMQ Site Editor)

In Salmon River Gorge, Two miles North of Riggings, ID. Ever since coming into the Salmon River Canyon after White Bird, ID …US-95 has been East of the River. But, as you see ahead in the /\ Above /\ Photo => US_95 will crossover the Salmon River via the bridge ahead, after which US-95 will be on the West side of the Salmon River. This “crossover” is necessary, because the river ahead, in two places, runs tight to very high vertical cliffs, along the East Canyon Wall, leaving no place for a road. (You will see these high near vertical cliffs, in the Next Photo.)
….AND, There Are Two More Reasons For Shifting US-95 To West Of The River =>
...A) The road needs to provide easy, continuous, access to the town of Riggings, ID, which is ahead on the West riverside, where the town uses the available fairly large flat areas. And
…B) As you will learn in the Next Photo, the road will follow a South Trending River Fork called “The Little Salmon River”. Since the main Salmon flow there comes in from the East, the road will need to be on the West Side to follow this Little Salmon River. Otherwise, a bridge would be needed crossover this main flow, coming in from the East.
….Thus, ahead the ZMM Route will be along this Little Salmon River at our East side, until we are well up to the valley of New Meadows, ID 30 miles ahead.

ATMOSPHERIC EXPLANATION:
….When the atmosphere is free of moisture, the sun is very intense, and hot, and the sky is pure, pure blue. In this condition, the sky naturally sends down blue light, and thus objects are colored blue. This is mostly noticed in shadow areas, where there is not much normal, white sunlight illumination directly from the sun.
….People who live in areas of greater atmospheric moisture rarely see this because sky moisture sends down a lot more hazy white light, and this covers up the effect of the blue sky light.
….This strange blueish coloration will be seen in the Next Photo, and was seen in the Previous Two Photos.
