Gorge Light

Last year I came home from one of my Columbia River Gorge workshops

to the greatest personal loss of my entire life. Not knowing how to

process the acute grief, I turned around and went back into the Gorge

and stayed their in solitude for another month. During this time I often

slept in the Eagle Creek area, in my vehicle and every day challenged

myself to go farther and deeper into the Gorge than I ever had before

(including spending nights in the forest). I have a large load of

unprocessed files from that season, but I have not had the time this year

to get to processing them.

This is a less commonly photographed waterfall up Moffett Creek (Wehe

Falls). I was very inspired, refreshed and in some ways restored by going

to some new places. There is nothing quite like hiking way in to a new

place and being the only one there all day. Sometimes I would just sit

and look and rest for hours not taking a single shot.

I hope you enjoy.

A truly magnificent image. It conveys all the sentiment you express in your comment. Best regards.

Solitude, peace and reflective meditation can help mend the soul to some extent, and of course the capture of such beauty and sharing it is also therapeutic.

Compliments!
