Falls in the Fall

[AlanLichty]

@Jon Bev dug up an old thread that reminded me about one of my favorite places to shoot fall colors in the Pacific NW - Silver Falls State Park in Oregon. Fall colors in that area are typically in early to mid October with this image coming from a visit in the second week of October. These falls are called the South Falls are are closest to the visitor center.

C&C always welcome.

Beautiful, Alan.

Beautiful, Alan.

Thanks Doug - this park is one of the best places to view the many layers that make up the Columbia River Basalt Flows.

Wow Alan! This looks great. I guess it's about time to start thinking about fall?

So this was the 2nd week in Oct? I want to capture the Annular Eclipse on Oct 13th, it's path is from Oregon to Texas. I am guessing I will go to Texas or New Mexico, but going to Oregon is an option, and if I did go there it's nice to know I could add some fall colors in too.

Thanks Jim - I am certainly thinking about fall at the moment. This is our peak wildfire season so wide open vistas are impaired by haze and smoke which makes venues with close in subjects like this much more tempting. Colors up here are really just getting started in mid October with higher elevations first (like Silver Falls) and lower elevations like Gorge about 2 weeks behind that most years.
