Oregon's Natural Bridges

Alvord Monsoon

The Alvord Desert. Summer monsoons closing in. Perfectly legal to just drive out there and find your moment of zen.

Whitman County Paradise

The rolling fields of winter wheat undulate through the Palouse region of eastern Washington. The evening light begins to cast shadows in the valleys from this view upon Steptoe Butte.

Black Butte

Sunset colors over Black Butte near Mount Shasta, CA.

Palouse Falls

Palouse falls in the summer, 198 feet of pure terror, from a vantage point of 230 feet of pure terror.

Bubbles on the Washougal

This popular swimming hole is usually packed full of people when the summer temps in Washington near triple digits.

Into the Green

Summer helps the forest fauna flourish at the Cedar Creek Grist Mill.

Cedar Creek Grist

The Cedar Creek Grist Mill is one of only a few working grist mills in the world ans still is in operation today, although not commercially.

Stairs and Water

This waterfall has confounded me for years, however just before I took this photo, I saw this scene unfold, and poof! I was inspired.

Cathdral Park Willow

A giant willow tree sits neatly tucked in between the towers of the St Johns Bridge, Cathedral Park, Portland.

Above Panther Creek

A much safer vantage point of this particularly awesome waterfall

Latourell Bridge

One of my favorite spots to photograph in all of the gorge.

Spirit Falls

Totally worth the minor struggle getting down here, and the major struggle getting back out again. The "trail" descends nearly 550ft in 1/3 of mile, very easy to follow, but a real quadburner. I still cant believe kayakers go over these falls. Looks like instant death from this perspective.

Hello Lone Tree

So we sat and waited for the light to change on this scene, and I never would have thought it would end up like this! Needless to say I was astonished.

Windy Mill

The Palouse region has some of the best weather for photography on a consistent basis, and is usually an extremely fruitful experience. We had found more interesting places than ever before, and a lone windmill was one of them.
