Wishful Thinking

[AlanLichty]

I wish this was a scene I could be out shooting right now instead of hot smoky air reminding me that summer isn't quite gone away yet. The formation in the middle of this scene is Rooster Rock in the mouth of the Columbia River Gorge. On summer weekends this area and the boat docks are typically quite busy with fishermen and recreational watercraft users. The inlet is well protected from the main current of the river and the boat ramp facilities are designed to handle a high volume of launches. I prefer visiting in the fall on weekdays when the place is almost abandoned like you see in this drone image from last fall.

C&C always welcome.

Now that's a fall image to get us ready for fall colors! You have me wanting to get out now.

I like how Rooster Rock is isolated here, this is one of the better images showing it I think.

Thanks Jim - I am more than ready for this weather to break and give us something more like this. I like orange on the leaves - not the air. I have never had a really good viewpoint of Rooster Rock from the ground so seeing it from up in the air was nice. I was actually shooting Palisades Falls 90º to the left from this scene and turned around to see the rest of the view and grabbed this shot.
