Whispy River Gorge

***NOTE*** I have moved this photo up to the front of my stream because it recently won an honorable mention for the Pro Photo "Columbia River Gorge" contest. When I went down to buy my new camera, I grabbed this and one other photo that was sitting on my desk and submitted them. I sort of forgot about the contest until I got a call yesterday. I didn't get first place, or a new camera, but at least it got noticed :)

***End***

 

Headed east up the Gorge for sunrise the other morning and while Portland was completely clouded in, the sunrise was quite colorful just east of Cascade Locks . The wind was really blowing hard causing some extremely fast moving clouds... I should have taken a second exposure without the filters so I could blend some better details into the hills. Oh well, live and learn :)
