Description

Proxy Falls, about 70 miles east of Eugene, Oregon, is one of Oregon's most photographed waterfalls. The waterfallsnorthwest site says: "Anybody who as had a calendar of waterfalls has undoubtedly seen pictures of this waterfall. Fed by springs on the shoulder of North Sister, Proxy Creek breaks over a wall of columnar basalt liberally marinated in mosses and veils about 150 feet in two streams." I was very happy to catch this in really good light; I've been there when there was so much sunlight on it that it was impossible to shoot a meaningful photograph. Thanks for stopping by and any comments. http://2dphotography.smugmug.com/

Beautiful waterfall ... I love the way you can see the water thread down over the rocks ... An unusual view ... The splashes (?) at the bottom add an interesting touch ...

That is just stunning. I must admit, though, that the name has me a bit baffled. Are people mailing in little bits of water with ballots? Is the water coming from a server that forwarded it from another server? Do people send water in under a secret, hidden identity? Is the water paranoid, secretive, obsessive ... ??? Well ... you see my problem. Did I remember to tell you how much I like this photograph?

I go out risking life and limb taking photos so all of you can view these waterfalls by proxy. It's only fitting that one of them should be named "Proxy." LOL

I love all the little bumps it runs over, breaking it into a million pieces! What luck that you had great light :)

Beautiful capture. You've got all the components here...color, light, flowing water, depth of field and a superb POV. Makes one want to visit Oregon...even though it is a long way from Kansas :-) Bill
