Elowah!

Description

Taken after hiking in the Columbia River Gorge on a rainy day. Elowah Falls captured from the middle of the stream, taken at 400 ISO because a longer exposure just would get too much mist on the lens. A 300 ft drop these falls make and I don't think I have seen so much water. The heavy rain transformed this relatively tranquil creek into a torrent.

This is stunning! I'm still not brave enought to come near water with my camara! This picture feels like the water is fixing to pour right out of the picture! #2256094
