Humbug mountain, Oregon.
This stretch of coastline was my home for a couple years. It is remote, hard and gorgeous. #blueskymonday #eastcoastkin #mountainmonday #pacificocean

Roosevelt Elk on the beach at Ecola State Park in Oregon. Shortly after I took this, they retreated into the forest to avoid an unleashed dog.

Lower Cascades, Starvation Creek Falls

Starvation Creek tumbles down the lower part of its drop from the cliffs above in the Columbia River Gorge, Oregon.

#Waterfall #Oregon #ColumbiaRiverGorge #OregonStateParks #StarvationCreekStatePark #photography #landscapePhotography #artPhotography
Starvation Creek tumbles down the lower part of its drop from the cliffs above in the Columbia River Gorge, Oregon. Vertical image: The stream emerges from behind a boulder in the upper right corner of the image, and then flows over and around boulders and a fallen tree trunk as it drops towards image center. It then splits and recombines around a boulder, before rushing over a fallen tree branch and the splitting into two around another boulder and landing in a level stretch. The rushing water appears almost white and smooth, thanks to a long shutter speed. The boulders alongside the streak are a covered in moss, with some ferns another plants growing on the banks. Some of the boulders in the streamed, but towards the edges have bits of moss breaking up their black forms, but the ones in the middle of the stream are bare and shiny.

North Falls, Silver Falls State Park in Oregon.

Buoyed by recent rains, The North Fork of Silver Creek roars over North Falls in Silver Falls State Park.

Buoyed by recent rains, The North Fork of Silver Creek roars over North Falls in Silver Falls State Park. Vertical Color Photograph. At the top of the image, basalt cliffs topped with moss-covered evergreens converge to a point about 1/5 of the way down from the top and in from the image left. From there, a roaring plume of white water plunges 136 down to crash onto the boulders and then wind its way down towards the next waterfall. Vines and shrubs with some clinging remnants of autumn colors are in the foreground and on the rocks of the far shore.

Lower Latourell Falls, Guy W. Talbot State Park, Oregon, as seen from Latourell Creek.

Lower Latourell Falls, Guy W. Talbot State Park, Oregon, as seen from Latourell Creek. Horizontal shot: the camera perspective is from just above the level of the creek. From the top of the frame, the thin plume of Lower Latourell Falls plunges down in front of stark cliffs until it hits the plunge pool behind a set of boulders. The water then races down Latourell Creek, threading through and over another set of dark boulders about 1/3 of the way from the frame bottom. The white water from the turbulence of this mini-cascade, curves its way in three thread out of the bottom and lower side of the frames. From the upper left and right of the image, swaths of greenery curve their way down the cliffs, narrowing until they meed in a thin green line behind the plume of falling water just before it hits the plunge pool.

Fog envelopes the forest at Ecola State Park on the Oregon Coast. Platinum-toned black-and-white photograph. Horizontal image: in the foreground, bottom right of the image, two trees jut up from the shrubs atop a rocky cliff. Behind them, a thick forest of even tall trees on a higher hill fade into the fog.
