On the western side of McKenzie pass over the Oregon Cascade Range. You have to walk half a mile from the parking, then descend to canyon, ford the creek filled with logs and then scramble up to the falls. And you really need overcast day.
Or, like 99.9% visitors, you could take a snapshot from the viewpoit across the canyon.
I'll probably delete these pics after a while if they don't get much activity.
In the main scene you can't even notice the mannequins in the background. I hadn't even made a store front for that window, but I thought it was better to throw one together rather than just have a broken window leading into the void (my light box).
This is a picture of the East section of the top of Upper Proxy Falls in Central Oregon.

Proxy Falls, also known as Lower Proxy Falls, is a cascade and plunge waterfall from a collection of springs on the shoulder of North Sister, that plunges into a gaping canyon near McKenzie Pass in the Willamette National Forest, near Belknap Springs, Oregon.
Incessant rain plagued the day; pressed for time, we hiked it anyway, and this is the result. The composition isn't bad, but technical issues, due to the rain, prevented this from being as good as my camera wanted it to be. The rain was coming down so hard, it was impossible to keep the lens dry. After a few minutes of trying, my dry cloth was saturated, as well. As such, there are numerous blurry spots where water had collected on the lens. Not a lot could be done, unfortunately.
On the way back from the falls, we lost the trail and trekked across a moss-covered boulder field. My sense of direction was good; unfortunately, my footing was not. I slipped, and ended up embedding my "rather expensive" Swiss watch into my forearm. Fun. Fortunately, that was the only mishap, and I was able to get to the trail shortly thereafter.
Soaked, cold, and bleeding, we decided to pass on visiting Upper Proxy Falls. Having seen it in the past, anyway, I really didn't feel too badly about this. The watch, my arm, the hypothermia, and the dozen or so botched pictures, however, were all good reason for me to feel less-than-awesome. On the whole, the sheer beauty of this hike/falls outweighed the less-awesome side of the cold rain. Definitely worth seeing, regardless of the weather.

A day at Proxy Falls. Yep, 21 cars at the trailhead. Worst kept secret on Oregon, but for good reason. It's a fantastic place.
The Future Is Now....
I love this movie. It is in my top 10 favorite movies of all time list. Everything was firing on all cylinders for this film and I can find no fault with the acting, writing, directing, lighting, sets, props, music, etc.
Having worked in the film industry for 10 years, I usually have some sort of critique about something.
Sure, sure; The Hudsucker Proxy isn't a movie for everyone, but if you haven't seen it you should set aside some time to check it out.
About the build:
I wanted to use all "cheese slopes" but didn't have enough and needed to improvise. The Hudsucker "H" is 100% cheese slopes. Over all the mosaic is 70% cheese slopes.
Size is 12 x 11 studs
To save my sanity during the photographing of this build upright I did tape the back so the mosaic wouldn't accidentally fall apart.
Pentax K-3 II, objectif Pentax SMC 1:2.5 135mm + soligor MP Auto Tele Converter utilisé en bague allonge.
17 prises Raw DNG en Pixel shift résolution à F11, 1/15, 100iso avec variation de mise au point, essai du logiciel Hélicon Focus 6. Post-traitement.
J'ai utilisé un ancien objectif manuel avec un ancien teleconvertisseur utilisé ici en bague allonge( sans la lentille), on est alors dans le rapport de reproduction 1:3 à la distance minimale de prise de vue, selon mes calculs donc une photo proxy. La photo a été recadrée en 4/3.
La bague de diaphragme est réglè sur F11 pour la netteté sans les défauts d'une ouverture plus fermée, la fonction pixel shift résolution de Pentax est activée et j'ai pris 17 prises pour augmenter la profondeur de champ dans une certaine limite, le but étant aussi de tester le logiciel Hélicon Focus 6.
Those who know and understand how proxy service works already know about amazing benefits of using it goo.gl/LDulmz
I took a day trip to the Willamette National Forest East of Eugene Oregon on the Old Mckenzie Highway. I drove 1/2 hour into the park and passed no one. This fall is about a 1/2 mile easy hike from the road that will take you over an interesting lava flow. It was pouring rain and I needed to plant my tripod in the middle of the river to get this shot. Then I realized if I slipped it was going to be a VERY long wait for help.
