Fall in the Gorge

[AlanLichty]

This is another shot from the tail end of last fall's color show in the Columbia River Gorge. Fall starts out as the end of our dry season so some of the smaller creeks and streams tend to be either dried up or just barely running depending on when the fall rains get started. In this case Palisades Falls are only barely present after a couple of passing storms and nothing like what this scene looks like in mid winter through spring. Mirror Lake at the bottom of the scene. This is a 24mm drone shot from out over the middle of the lake hovering around 15' over the water.

C&C always welcome.

What a unique photo Alan! The fall colors really add to it, but it may be the waterfall that puts it over the top.

Thanks Jim - I shot this during the same flight as the Rooster Rock shot with the caveat that I dropped the drone down to 10' over the lake whereas the Rooster Rock shot was at about 350'. This is after peak color which you can see with all the bare trees down near the Union Pacific tracks.
