Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area Continued.

Sunrise on Dalles Mountain
On April 28. The group was out at 5 AM to travel to the Dalles Mountain to photograph the sunrise. The color in the clouds, which was 180° opposite the sunrise was ever-changing and we utilized the broadleaf lupines and the arrowleaf balsamroot as foregrounds. After finishing with the sunrise photos we went for breakfast and coffee.

We then traveled to the Horsetail Falls, where we hiked up to the Upper Horsetail Falls, otherwise known as Ponytail Falls. You can view the falls from the right side and left side as well as behind the falls in a cave that that was eroded below a lava flow.

After lunch and a bit of rest, we were in the afternoon at Dry Creek Falls. It was a good thing we were in four-wheel drive vehicles since the road up, was bumpy and had standing water and mud, which coded the cars. The falls falls 75 feet in a nice canyon. The Canyon does get illuminated by the afternoon's sun, which helps create an interesting photo. On the side of the trail was an old tree stump that was partially burned and had different colored lichens on it. The Creek became illuminated by the sun coming through the canopy and help create another interesting image.

In between straightening out my guess and getting all my bookkeeping caught up for the year, I decided to play with a few pictures of waterfalls to see how they would look in black and white.  Please let me know what you think, you can leave a comment at the end or email me at mborn@photobee1.com.
