This image was created in the winter of 2010. I feel fortunate to have such an amazing visual resource as the Columbia Gorge within an hour of my home in Portland, OR. Elowah Falls is a short hike from the highway and a bit of a scramble down to this vantage point. Winter hikes provide solitude and a bit of drizzle adds to the experience. 

For this image I carried my waders to the site and stood in the ice cold water until I got the composition I wanted.
