I have seen and photographed most of the falls along the lower Columbia River Gorge. This last trip I wanted to see things a little different. Stretch my imagination a little. Most the falls drop off and fall to a pool then cascade down a rock filled path. That being the most common photo. As I stopped at the various falls I realized that there is another aspect to these particular falls that I needed to capture. But how do I do it and still have the falls as the subject. All the trees and rocks around the falls are covered in moss and green plants. I walked this particular water fall and spent some time looking around for a way to keep a simple photograph but include the two elements I was seeing at all the falls. It was a real challenge for me. I look for simplicity in a photograph. And always want to keep depth somehow if possible. This is the best I could this trip. I do love the colors….
