repose...
Stopped at the large bend of the South Umpqua River between Tri City and Surprise Valley, Oregon to photograph the river and the mountains. There's a large gravel area there and trucks and cars stop there regularly. Unfortunately some throw their garbage into the grass and onto the side of bank. I don't think most truckers litter, but like most groups, it only takes a small percentage of bad actors to ruin the reputation of the major. That was the bad, seeing lots of tossed trash. Anyway, went down to the river bank to take my pictures, then near the waters edge I found a small enclosed pool with submerged leaves. I actually ended up having more fun photographing the leaves that the landscape. The light wasn't great for the landscape shots, but the leaves in the pool made the stop worthwhile.
