multnomah falls 2015

Glorious !

Ah yes. I am blassed to live so close to it.

Wow, excellent shot and beautiful falls.

Thank you so much. I'm feeling grateful for the firefighters that just saved it.

A water slide, be a bit bumpy ......Lovely capture Laura !!!.....Have a pleasant day !!

Oh yes, at 620 ft tall (the tallest waterfall in Oregon), it would really do one's bum in!

Thanks for your kind comment.

WOW, impressive and so beautiful, Laura !!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you so much. We love this waterfall - the tallest in our state at 620 ft. I'm so lucky to live so close to it.

You are very kind. Thank youl

Wonderful falls. Excellent photo and a perfect point of view.

It is wonderful indeed. Usually you see this photographed with the bridge, but I liked this vantage point of just the nature. Glad you enjoy it as well! Thanks.

A beautiful location..I would love to visit this place :) And well done with the photograph.

It is well worth the trip. The whole Columbia River Gorge is amazing (though currently has fires, so you might want to wait a little bit :( Thanks.

Terrific shot! Where is this please, Laura?

Hi Andy, I added the location in the description now. It's in the Columbia River Gorge in northwestern United States. It is Multnomah Falls National Park. We are very lucky to live right next to the Gorge - and luckier still that firefighters just saved it from burning by standing in a ring around the falls and the lodge for days to stave off the fire. The fire rages on, but the Falls are saved!

Thank you. We love it and are lucky to live close enough to drive there for a short day trip.

Beautiful, well done :-)
Have a good evening.

Thanks June. It isn't a National Park for no reason - it is a beautiful place.

...fascinating...

it is just one of the many wonders along the Columbia Gorge.

A wonderful sight well captured Laura

Thanks so much, Peter. I had the luck to be there multiple times last spring.

You capture this with a wonderful sense of place, magnificent!

You are so very kind. Thank you!

Excellent shot of these wonderful falls. Heard that the area was threatened with fire, but nice to hear that some of it is safe.

thank you, Ron. the lodge is safe, but i am not sure hiw the rest has fared. there aren't a lot of detailed reports as people aren't allowed in right now. there's a lot of worry about trees that didn't burn up having damaged roots so they might fall soon. i thought the trees around the falls were saved, but now it is unclear. hopefully the rain expected this weekend will basically put an end to the fire and assesment of damage and restoration can begin.

stunning waterfall

it is indeed. i love that i can go there just on a whim (well, i can again after the fire is delt with - probably not until next spring)

Great fall.
Well shown.

thank you. it is a wonderful place.

Wow that is very impressive. Great photograph.

Thank you, Jenny! It is a very dramatic and gorgeous place. I am happy it comes across that way in my photo.

A wonderful capture, Laura; I am so happy to hear that the fire didn't impact this beautiful place!

Thanks! It will remain to be seen how much the trees are effected here. Hopefully their roots aren't damaged with the ground cover burning away. We won't have full reports until later this month. But the scene probably won't change drastically in this one place - and should come back fairly quickly.

Beautiful waterfall; well taken.
have a nice weekend.

Thank you so much. We are so lucky to have it in our backyard - just 40 minutes drive away from me.

Stunning!

It is an amazing place. thank you so much.

Wonderful shot Laura! I was just there in May and amazingly it looks untouched by the fire. Most of the destruction can be seen on the upper plateau above the many waterfalls. I noticed many large burned tree trunks swirling in the pool below the lower falls.

Thank you.
You managed to find a parking spot! Well, maybe May is easier than in summer.
It does have the look of being untouched by fire, but that is partly because they have done a lot of cleanup. But it really was amazing that the firefighters kept this area as good as they did.
