BigSpringCreek_Falls-1677-7
I keep trying to get this better... constructive feedback more than welcome! I played in lightroom a bit with split toning trying to get better greens without turning the water green too...
I want to thank Gary Randall for all his encouragement and help, he is a master in the Mt. Hood forest and very inspiring!
These words from an old much faved version of this shot (Waters of Life, seen below) still apply today;
"For all of my life this little waterfall was a stopping place on camping trips along the Forest Road 23 above Trout Lake, Washington... Big Spring Creek, a sweet little place, surrounded by huckleberries and wildflowers... and I would always pour the icy snowmelt and spring water over my head and take a big drink of pure delicious water...
I have slept in my truck beside this falls listening to the music of the earth in all its glory weaving its songs throughout my dreams...
Running up the steep path alongside the fast flowing stream, through the tall trees, is a stimulant of life force like no other... panting for breath in the high altitude while my out of shape heart pounds... but oh so full of LIFE and joy!
THis day the fog was so magical... I had never seen it quite like this before! so mysterious... wonderful!! "
