I was able to do another trip up through the Pacific Northwest and came to the Columbia River Gorge on the Oregon side. Years ago, Vincent Versace had shown a photograph of this magic place, which I had never visited, let alone photographed. I must say it took probably close to half an hour getting my bearings in front of this gobsmacking scene. It was early morning and cold, not many people about so I was able to get my tripod set in the right place and then walk up to the bridge. One of those rare moments when dream turned to reality; that is if photography is reality :D
Working on a blog outlining the adventure of more than 4,000 miles (6,600 km) and 1200 images. Should be ready soon.
PS Bring a WIDE angle!

With those first three stupendous shots, I'm eager to read your blog.
Bravo, David.

Thank you, Francois. I will let you know when I post it. Probably take a few weeks, but I am uploading images as I go, which you can find here (https://www.davideckelsphotography.com/2023-walk-about).

And you are no slouch at landscape photography yourself David.
As for when we will be back in the US, not so sure, it could be quite a few years. But we will definitely be back one day I hope, just not sure when, but thanks for the invite ;)

Thank you, that means a lot. And we are planning a visit to Scotland in the next couple years so maybe we can get together and share a pint.

I like them all. I visited the Columbia river gorge about 10 years ago but in the summer and the falls that I saw were significantly smaller.

Thanks for your comment, Armand. And I know that there is the possibility of even stronger flows in the Spring, but I kinda like this sort of middling level of flow. Plus going in late Fall (end of October) the crowd issue was mitigated.
