Multnomah Falls

Sunset at the falls.

Along the Columbia River Drive

There are several waterfalls along the Columbia River Drive, but Multnomah is – in my opinion – the most spectacular. I arrived about a half hour before sunset and made a few shots that were quite nice. A trip to the bridge and I had a few more nice shots. Back down at the lower viewing level the sun had disappeared from the falls and the lights were just coming on. A mixture of lighting types combined with the remaining daylight made for some interesting colors on the falls.

Still on the Road – and loving it!

Mount Rainier at the Reflecting Lakes

Mount Rainier at the Reflecting Lakes

Taking a little time to get caught up on processing and general digital housekeeping. I am amazed at the poor quality of the wifi service I’ve been getting in motels. When the service stays connected it is usually so slow I can not post images. Today I am waiting on a car repair at a Starbucks and the service is great. I spent all day Friday traveling through and around Mt. Rainier. It was worth every minute. Perfect weather and not too many cars on the road. Loving being a Guy with a Camera.

You meet the best people on the road

WW II Veteran travels to Michigan

WW II Veteran travels to Michigan

I spent the night in Gallup, New Mexico, It had been a long night of travel in the rain down US 491. Lots of road work and plenty of water crossing the road. I got a late start but decided to turn around and fill my gas tank and my belly tank. I pulled into a gas station and saw this man wiping down the bike. Looking closer I saw his hat. I had to talk to him. I spend a lot of time photographing US Veterans in and around Washington DC. This was the first opportunity I had to photograph a WW II Veteran “in the wild” traveling on a Harley Davidson trike. A fun conversation for about thirty minutes and then we went our ways. Sometimes it pays to turn around. Thanks Harold Adams.
