Another from Skye and another from the Fairy Pools. This one shows the fault that stretches for many miles. If you look closely at the Cuillin mountains the last one on the left has a dark line running to the top, the same fault line. Unfortunately there was not enough water running to show the falls at their best plus I had cross threaded my polariser so not only could I not remove it but it was refusing to turn. I would have liked a little reflection on the water to change the colour to a bluer hue as I am not too keen on the rock colour here. The blue stones have been carried downstream and are lodged in the fault and it is these blue stones that give most of the pools there blue/ green colour, but not this one. Ken

That fault line is interesting - it almost looks like a man made feature running beneath the waters here. The shot might not have worked as you wanted it but it's still a neat shot.

Another Wednesday and another round of waterfalls.

This is a different view of Multnomah Falls. In this case I was wandering on one of the trails around the falls and decided to shoot a part of the falls that was visible through the fall leaves just to be different.

I like this different take!

Are there still trail closures in the Gorge?

Tons of trails are still closed. Most of the trails near the Pacific Crest Trail will remain closed for several years although PCT itself is open. This includes Ruckel Creek, Oneonta, Wahclella, Eagle Creek, Tanner Butte, Angels Rest, Elowah Falls, and the trail above Wahkeena.

EDIT: I have some updated info for trails and some of the ones I just mention have reopened. This link shows the updates and has links for more updated info.

Thank you very much indeed Ken, glad you enjoyed it! :) It was a tough one to pull off, the wind kept blowing droplets on my filter, and they pretty much instantly froze on the filters if I didn't clean them really fast... :D

Best regards,

Vieri
