Columbia River Gorge
Wordless Wednesday: Beacon Rock 10 comments
MJF Images Fine Art landscape, nature and travel images from the American West and around the world.
A photo & travel blog with a difference: Instead of strict focus on photo how-to, gear and the like, I'll pass on knowledge about the places and cultures photographed. I believe the more deeply you come to know a place, the better your pictures will be.
My past careers as science teacher and geologist mean that I can't help but teach about the natural history of photogenic places around the world. But photography is not forgotten. You'll also see practical tips about where and how to photograph the destinations. And once a week, Friday Foto Talk gives photography tips and how-to on a selected topic, for novices on up to expert.
What you won't find here is endless discussion about me braving dangerous weather, terrain or wild animals to get the shot. Nor will there be cheerleading gear talk or marketing pitches. I promise to leave that to other blogs, of which there are many.
I remember seeing that from the south shore of the Columbia River. Have you climbed it?
Rosemarie there’s an amazing trail to the top that I’ve hiked, but no haven’t rock-climbed it.
Love the low angle and play with warm and cool
Thanks. That was what I noticed too. Often that’s the case when you have this kind of light, and the added effect of water in the shaded area with cool light.
This Worldless Wednesday photo has only succeeded in inspiring me to use words! That is a great shot and I’m wondering if that is the same rock that has the same precarious trail to the top or am I thinking of another in that area.
It is Stefanie (see my reply to Lyle). I think eliciting comments might be the best reason to do these.
Ah yes. Every mountain scene needs a beacon.
Lyle this was named by the explorers Lewis & Clark. Their goal was to reach the Pacific, and here is where they started noticing tides in the river. So it was a beacon to their ultimate goal.
Interesting.
BEAUTIFUL!
BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!
