Enjoying the view in a classic Autumn day at Benson State Recreation Area. Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area.
Love this place! Another one of my favorite waterfalls in Oregon!..Thanks to my waders I have ALL kinds of different comps from this place!
HWW!!
A very nice 74' waterfall just a few steps off of the Pacific Crest Trail near Cascade Locks Oregon.
Water from Dry Creek was used from 1896 to 1937 to power the lock chamber gates at Cascade Locks, the locks that gave the town its name. The locks were built to circumvent the great Cascades of the Columbia, a long whitewater expanse that was a major impediment to river travel. When the creek was used to power the locks, its creek bed ran dry; hence the name. When Bonneville Dam became operational in 1937, the Great Cascades, along with most of the lock canal, were submerged below the rising water behind it.

Captured this with three RAW shots at -2..0..+2 EV using an ND8 filter. Digital blending in Photoshop CS6. I increased the overall saturation with Hue/Saturation in Photoshop. Curve adjustment to increase the overall contrast. 1 layer mask in soft light mode at 50% gray, using brush tool to lighten and darken some areas of the image, to bring out details. Topaz DeNoise to reduce noise.
Today's hiking trip - Dry Creek Falls at the Columbia River Gorge in Spring. Another great day for waterfalls!

The city took its name from a set of locks built to improve navigation past the Cascades Rapids of the Columbia River. The U.S. federal government approved the plan for the locks in 1875, construction began in 1878, and the locks were completed on November 5, 1896. The locks were subsequently submerged in 1938, replaced by Bonneville Lock and Dam. Cascade Locks is just upstream from the Bridge of the Gods, a toll bridge that spans the Columbia River.
Looking westward from Cascade Locks, Oregon. The Bridge of the Gods was directly behind me when I took this picture.

"On the south support structure of the Bridge of the Gods is a wonderful large mural showing the legend, local wildlife, and historical events of the Bonneville Landslide and the Cascade Rapids, the Cascade Locks, and the Bridge of the Gods area. The mural was completed in May 2002. The artist was Larry Kangas. The Legend ...
Various versions of the "Bridge of the Gods" legend exist, all with a common theme of volcanoes and a land bridge. The most common version given has it that the sons of Old Coyote, Wy’east (Mount Hood) and Pahto (Mount Adams), were powerful braves both in love with a maiden (Mount St. Helens). Because they crossed the “Bridge of the Gods” to fight over their love for her, Old Coyote collapsed the land bridge to keep his sons from fighting."
Note "The Bridge of the Gods" will be followed.

At the time I was in the west coast visiting, it was rhododendron's blooming time. They were huge and showy.
Jasmine and I went looking for goslings today. After some detective work, we found a family near a protected island.
Low overcast skies made it necessary to shoot at a high ISO...sorry about the "noise". Sorry also about the wierd size of the pics...they were a distance away and I had to crop horizontally to fill the frame.
Aren't they cute? I hope they all survive into adulthood-there was a total of eight.
More pics below.
On a sunny January day in 1990, a westbound Union Pacific freight train closes in on Cascade Locks, Oregon. It was my first winter in the Rose City. Catching a ratty C-Boat like this on the point was a rare treat.
After catching the homebound Union Pacific Operation Lifesaver special at Troutdale, Oregon, I zoomed ahead to Cascade Locks for this image. That's the Bridge of the Gods in the distance. A few years after I took this shot, some nice person planted trees in the foreground. The foliage completely obliterated this angle.
I liked that this train had the HEP generator car behind the power, and a string of passenger cars unbroken by a baggage car for the photographers. It probably looks as close to an in-service UP streamliner as I will ever get.
This is a rescan of a previously posted image.
A view looking to the south across Eagle Creek to Upper Punchbowl Falls. One thing about being in the Pacific NW and hiking the trails around the Columbia River Gorge is the richness of colors! That's what drew me into this setting, along with the natural channel created with the nearby rock wall and tree growth to the far off waterfall.
To comment on Flickr's choice of GPS locations, the GPS data clearly shows this in Oregon in the Columbia River Gorge but adds in a Washington location. Not certain the why's of this...
This is the Bridge of the Gods in Cascade Locks, Oregon.

This is the most visited waterfall in Oregon. With a parking lot on Interstate 84, it's easy to see the beautiful 620-foot waterfall with a lovely bridge crossing the gap. I made my stop just after sunrise and the visitors were few, so there was plenty of room to set up and take some shots. The environment was very nice, with the sound of the water and a cool breeze and mist from the waterfall. Oh the rewards of getting up early.

I took a short hike to see how well I could travel with a backpack cantaining both my newest 4x5 film camera, and my Nikon D810, along with about 10 lenses. Add a tripod, and bottle of water, and it turned out to be too much for my shoulders. I can't carry as much as I used to. I got this picture, though.
This sopt is near the Bonneville Dam in the Columbia Gorge, along the Historic Columbia River Highway State Trail.

Western Oregon is very rainy and pretty much everything has moss growing on it. I saw these rocks while hiking on the Ponytail and Horsetail Trail in Cascade Locks.
The city took its name from a set of locks built to improve navigation past the Cascades Rapids of the Columbia River. The U.S. federal government approved the plan for the locks in 1875, construction began in 1878, and the locks were completed on November 5, 1896. The locks were subsequently submerged in 1938, replaced by Bonneville Lock and Dam. Cascade Locks is just upstream from the Bridge of the Gods, a toll bridge that spans the Columbia River.

Our first shot on a railfanning summer Saturday was this capture of a Union Pacific stack train eastbound at Cascade Locks, Oregon. That spindly steel structure in the distance is the Bridge of the Gods, a toll bridge owned and operated by the Port of Cascade Locks.
We liked the fact that this train had "old power" so much that we chased it all the way out to the John Day River.
This picture was my goal for the last two years. It has taken me several years of building my knowledge of this mating pair, their tendencies, and a great number of strike outs on my part, but this shot has been my goal. The way I imagined it! Next goal: keep the bird in focus as it does the dive and plunge. Another day.
It's been a long week my friends and I can't wait to unwind. As always thanks for looking and have a nice weekend :)
The Oneonta Gorge is probably one of the coolest places in the Columbia River Gorge. To get to the falls, you have climb over a log jam and wade through the creek which gets chest high at one point. It is quite the adventure, and definitely worth it. Enjoy!
Bridge of the Gods spans the Columbia River between Cascade Locks, Oregon and Washington state near North Bonneville.
A cute little House Sparrow decided to jump up on our picnic table to join us for lunch at Bonneville Fish Hatchery's park, unfortunately I had to break the news ‘we’re out of seed.
Have a great day! And thanks for your visits, comments, faves and invites!
took this shot at the stern of a stern wheeler. The M.V. Columbia Gorge is a 145-foot (44 m) sternwheeler in service on both the Columbia and Willamette Rivers.
The Columbia River Gorge in Oregon is a treasure trove of waterfalls. As you drive along the historic Columbia River Highway, you'll find many waterfalls. Multnomah Falls is the most beautiful and popular one, with Horsetail Falls holding its own with its beauty. With a 176 foot drop, the fall comes together then fans out to resemble a horse's tail ... so its name is very fitting. One thing they all have in common is that beautiful sound and the freshend air of a waterfall ... so peaceful and relaxing.
