This is the rebuilt Cathlapotle Plankhouse in the Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge. There used to be 14 of these plankhouses Built by the Chinookan Indians. Not had very much time to post as of late. I started a Pressure washing and roofing business and have been trying to get it off the ground I think its working because I am really tired! Missed commenting on all your wonderful posts!

I hope you don't get forced into early retirement like my Cuzin Jasper, a cause he kept fallin' off the roofs. If you just drink the Bud Lights after work, and not during, you should be fine. LOL. Beautiful shot. I love those reflections. Well done, Paul.

Lovely low lighting. I like the glow and colors as well as the view along the shoreline. I would like to see the sky cropped to the mid level trees to bring the focus back down. Thank you for sharing it.

The water is so still and you have such a perfect reflection of this lovely spot. I love your pun about getting your roofing business off the ground too.

What a beautiful place especially in that sunset light. The stillness of the water is breathtaking and I really love the twisty road on the side
