Oregon's Proxy Falls in the spring. You can't tell from this image, but the waterflow was so intense that this was a close as I could get and still be able to fire off some shots without my lens getting totally soaked within seconds. As it was, I had to furiously wipe the front element of my lens between each shot. One sure fire way of distinguishing whether a landscape photographer is from the Pacific Northwest is to watch their technique when it comes to wiping water off their lens. The ones trying to do it with just one towel aren't the natives!
