Just came back from my awesome pacific northwest trip with my son and another family during the spring break. We travelled more than 1200 miles in four days, and stopped at Woodburn, Colombia River Gorge, and Palouse.
This shot was taken at Palouse Falls State Park. The water flow was considered as the largest at this time of year. The shot was taken at a spot next to cliff, and I included some human elements at right to show the scale of falls and canyon.
Happy Tuesday!

Colombia River Gorge, Oregon. A classic shot for this icon of gorge, and hard to come up anything new … but I have seen most of shots are vertical, so I would like to try the wide version by using my 14-24 lens to include more green moss around it.

Steptoe Butte State Park, Washington
After we spent almost two days scouting all kinds of waterfalls in Oregon, we were getting bored of staying in rainy gorge, so we decided to head to Washington to see something different. The sky was unbelievable nice on the way to Palouse Falls, and we found that we had over 4 hours to kill before sunset. So we immediately turned to Steptoe Butte. Unfortunately the lights were not cooperate when we got to the park. We were the only car driving up to the top while the sky was covered with thick clouds. It is our first visit to this photographers' dreamland. Even though the lights was not promising, we still took as many shoots as possible on all compositions we have seen.
When we packed our gears into the car and about to leave, suddenly the sun broke thru the thick clouds to make the lush greens of Palouse farmland glow nicely. I asked my friends to wait for another 10 minutes to repeat all of my compositions I just finished a hour ago. This is one of shoots zoomed in from the top to capture this small slice of palette that is on display with constantly changing clouds and sun.
