McKenzie River Flow

One of my favorite forest rivers in my home state of Oregon: the McKenzie. Rushing around, across, and sometimes under ancient lava flows, in the midst of of the wet, Western hemlock and Douglas-Fir dominated western slopes of the central Cascade Range. Thanks to its glacial and high-mountain snowmelt sources, and especially its significant filtering through so much lava rock, the water is known for its particularly bluish cast. Nowhere more so than at Tamolitch Blue Pool, not far from where I took this shot.

 

Thanks very much for stopping by. I hope you have a wonderful weekend, wherever in the world you might be.
