Description

Took a drive into the Columbia River Gorge today, and was surprised to encounter snow instead of rain. It was a bit messy, but I got a few good shots. Here is Wahkeena Falls, which I've posted a wider shot of before. Wahkeena is one of the prettier falls in the gorge, with a total drop of about 242 feet (73m) in several smaller stages. Thanks for stopping by and any comments. I'm glad folks had fun with the kite eating tree.

What a nice falls. I love just about anything that has water or mountains. Good shutter speed. Have a great Sunday. Aloha

I would like to be there with you, great water fall. The touch of snow makes the texture of the land even more interesting. I wander if you tried different times like 1/10 or 1/20 of the second. On this photo the water seems to me a bit to puffy. This does not change anything, I like this photo.

Looks like a very strong flow with a hint of mist in the air Dennis. I like the way you captured it. The snow gives a little extra detail to the foreground, Sig...

Beautiful falls I really like the softness of the water in contrast with the rough texture of the rocks, well done!!!

Looking up into the path of the falls is an exciting venture. Outstanding!

I feel like I should yell so you can hear me over the sound of the falls! This is wonderful, my friend. The snow adds an unexpected dimension that I really like. Thanks for braving the weather and going out this weekend!

I like the greens in the other picture but I like the up close and personal view we get with this one. I agree with the others who have commented that the snow is an added touch of beauty.
