The river runs through it!

Smith's Rock canyon state park is a really wonderful area. Rugged and

picturesque too! You will find many rock climbers training or

challenging themselves, hikers enjoying the walk and scenery, and some

photographers.

 

I reached this place about 10:30 AM. It was a spring day full of

thunderstorms around this area. I took few shots, however the lighting

was too flat due to the cloudy waether. I was getting ready to leave

south to Crater Lake area, when I noticed the windows in the clouds

and light reaching the walls of the canyon. I grabbed the camera back

and shot this picture. This area could be very good in the early

morning. Composing near the water may be good idea too, to get the

early morning glow.

Lalit, nice shot for so late in the morning. Also thanks for sharing your commentary. I think you are right about early morning on the river. I shot here at sunset with a little success but I was not on or near the water.

Lalit, I saw your verious best photos. I think this is GREAT!!!
