The Beauty of Oregon!

The Columbia River Gorge in all its mightiness. This is where the Oregon Trail Pioneers traveled by long wagon trains and under all sorts of hardships. It has now become a major thing for visitors to see. Especially Vista House that rises high above the river. The day I took this shot, it was filled with sunshine and clouds...but a mist was beginning its trek westward. We often get some blustering wind thru this "wind funnel" and also a bit of snow and cold weather. And when the fronts come in from the Pacific, we are in for trouble! But on a day like this, it was beautiful and peaceful. Please feel free to comment.

Art is the perception of the creator. Meaning is the perception of the viewer. acceptance is the perception of society.

What a breath-taker! Congratulations Verena. What a picturesque panorama. Your photos make my envy of the beautiful place you live in. I wonder what is the tiny building on the top of the cliff? Is it (Vista House I reckon) the little house of yours?

Another excellent offering, Verena. The orientation of the image accentuates the valley setting well. Very very nice! - Dave

This is one of my favorite places. I used to live in The Dalles when I was growing up. My great-grandparents lived in Hood River, so we'd visit out this way every once in a while. Nice photo.
