The End of the Creek

[AlanLichty]

Latourell Creek winds its way through the slopes above the Columbia River Gorge and gives us a nice display at Latourell Falls before dropping down to the wetlands in Rooster Rock State Park. This small unnamed lake in the wetlands is effectively the end of the creek as it appears on maps. The water from this lake drains into Young Creek (Shepperd's Dell) before it flows into the Columbia River.

This is what the end of Latourell Creek looked like on Tuesday with some fall colors spicing up the view. Single frame from a Mavic 3 Pro shot at 166mm from an altitude of about 90 feet.

C&C always welcome.

That's interesting how it just ends there. That's a cool view of that small lake/pond.

Thanks Jim - the water still flow but it's mostly through the swamp grasses the creek is only barely visible until the flow joins up with Young Creek. The ground in this scene looks solid but it's very squishy even in the high spots.

Nice complementary colors - the blues and yellows work really well here.

Thanks Jameel - the reflected blues looked almost surreal from the air. The colors are just getting started so next week should be quite nice.
