Oregon is a land of rivers, cascades and falls. The Mckenzie is hands down my favorite. I have floated it (not this section of course!), hiked along it and spent many hours totally mesmerized by it.
A spot where the river bends and cuts deep into the forest, dragging fallen trees with its turquoise power. Extra mossy on a sprinkly spring day.
Lake McKenie is a large freshwater lake on Fraser Island in Queensland - the largest sand island in the world. The sands around the lake are pure, white silica and the water in the lake is also so pure it is unsuitable for many species. Fraser Island is a world heritage site.
Crystal clear blue water and a thin white sand... but the water was still a little cold for me :)
This is a shot that I took with my compact camera. I've tried to improve it with a light HDR treatment, but I guess there is no HDR that can save a bad shot :)))
This is just to introduce the place to those who never visited there...
Fraser Island, Queensland
This is Lake McKenzie on Fraser Island in Queensland. Fraser Island is the largest sand island in the world and a world heritage site. There are around 40 such lakes on the island with this being the largest. These lakes are formed when organic matter, such as leaves, bark and dead plants, gradually builds up and hardens in depressions created by the wind .is a large freshwater lake. Much of the water from the annual average rainfall of 1600mm is absorbed into an enormous dome shaped water table below the dunes. It has been estimated somewhere between 10 and 20 million mega litres of freshwater are held in natural storage systems on Fraser Island. The sands around the lake are pure, white silica and the water in the lake is also so pure it is unsuitable for many species. What you cant see in this shot is that there are around 100 tourists here many of them swimming and playing in the lake. I had to wait quit a while to get a 'nature' type shot but worth the patience.
McKenzie River, Willamette National Forest, Oregon
During the summer I got to go on a great adventure, and one of my stops was to visit the Koosah and Sahalie Falls along the McKenzie River. While the waterfalls were absolutely lovely, I spent so much time enjoying the amazing clear and vibrant colors of the river. The scenery was so magical! I can't emphasize enough how blue and green the waters were; it was just unreal! A true PNW delight. :)

The McKenzie River is a 90-mile (145 km) tributary of the Willamette River in western Oregon. The first recorded exploration of the river occurred in the spring of 1812, when the Pacific Fur Company reached the McKenzie via the Willamette River, as part of a larger exploration led by Donald McKenzie. The company had established a post in 1811 at Fort Astoria at the mouth of the Columbia River. The McKenzie River is popular for boating—especially fishing, kayaking, and whitewater rafting.[26] The McKenzie River dory (or drift boat), specifically designed for use in whitewater, was first developed on the Mckenzie in the 1940s. Our colors are just starting to change. This is always a nice drive along this river.
Also known by its Butchulla name Boorangoora, it is a perched lake nestled in K’gari (formerly Fraser Island), Queensland (Australia).
It was a crazy, twisty and very scenic drive up to the McKenzie Pass summit in Oregon (elevation 1,626m), where the lava fields and mountain views certainly make it worthwhile. This photo shows two of the Three Sisters.
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.

Took a semi-impromptu day to myself Monday and drove up to Hoodoo for some skiing, but first I had to stop here and take some shots. I love this blue river.
An unnamed log-strewn cascade along the glacier-fed waters of the McKenzie River in the mountains of central Oregon.
I hope you have a great weekend, wherever in the world you might be.
Tuesday morning I cycled a 25km loop to Craigflower Manor House and return.
Ostensibly, the ride was to deliver an Irvine Family book to one Jim Maxwell.
From here — for the first time — I used the Admirals Road bike lanes. Victoria's cycle network improves every year and more and more I can leave the vehicles at home and take my bike.
Lake McKenzie or Boorangoora, as it is called in Aboriginal Language, is a freshwater lake on Fraser Island, Queensland, Australia.
The sand is pure white silica, and really looks that white. Even at hot temperatures, you wont have any problems walking around bare feet. As the sand reflects all the heat, it stays nice and cool.
The water is also really that blue and very clean. It is just a fantastic location. The only drawback are probably all the tourists around here (you cant actually see few of them in the picture), being myself one of them. But if you have a walk around you still can find lonely places.
I have taken a number of photos around the lake but today I would like to show you this long exposure. I somehow like the dynamics in the picture coming from the movement in the tree combined with the smooth out water. At that day it was a bit windy as you can see.
Hope you like it! And if you do, please leave a fave.
Instructional Post Processing Videos
Captured last week on the McKenzie river. I always love photographing along the Mckenzie, the combination of gorgeous blue water and luscious green moss make for photo magic. With all the snow melting in the surrounding mountains and spring rains, this was the highest flow I have ever seen seen here. It was an extremely challenging scene to photograph with rushing water, a constant mist collecting on my lens, and very challenging light, but I'm happy with the image.
I created this image using the techniques covered in my latest instructional video. In the video I illustrate how I use the powerful tools and techniques available in Lightroom and Photoshop along with the TKActions V4 Panel to achieve an incredible level of control throughout my workflow.
