Wahclella Green

One of my favorite spots in the area where I grew up – Wahclella Falls, along Tanner Creek in Oregon's Columbia River Gorge. I took this shot back in August while standing in the middle of the creek, using a fallen log for a tripod. This green beating heart of the Gorge was one of the areas hardest hit by the Eagle Creek wildfire a few weeks later. I am anxiously awaiting the opportunity to get back in there and see how things have fared – leaving me currently a mixture of resignedly heartbroken, yet in some small sense cautiously optimistic.
