JACK LARSON PHOTOGRAPHY
East of the Cascades
Posted by john4jack (Corvallis, Oregon, United States) on 1 November 2009 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.
On the road to Sumpter. This was taken on the eastern side of the Cascades heading toward Fossil. As you can see, the terrain is very different than what we have in Western Oregon. It is not always the most photogenic country, but I thought that you should see a little bit of this part of Oregon. I purposely did almost no post-processing on this shot. One of my goals, at least for the first few shots, is to give you a feel for the land.

The colours are impressive here! Texture is vying with the reflection.....and I think the texture wins!
(P.S. Thanks for your visits and comments. Japanalia is a page where both my photos and my husband's are posted; the difference can be easily noticed in the signature on the photos.)

Rand from Laie, United States
Nice image. It gets across the stillness and barrenness of the eastern halves of Washington and Oregon. It reminds me of a trip I took to Smith Rock many years ago.

The water is so still it is almost impossible to see where the real and reflection meet. Well captured.

Don from spokane, United States
A good one to show how Eastern Oregon looks. I like the rocky wall and that marvelous reflection. The green band of growing things shows, I think, how nature survives regardless!

Dulcie from Danville, CA, United States
Good shot...all the better for the dry hard rocks is the surprise of yellow softly reflected in the water.

@Dulcie: Thanks, Dulcie.
daniela scharnowski from Berlin, Germany
wow that colours are really bright! A breathtaking landscape, the most impressive thing is the ability of nature to join so different characters, the craggy and coarse ground with fluffy and gaudy plants, together mirrored in soft green. Incredible.

@daniela scharnowski: Many thanks.

Really neat reflections, I wonder if the water is as clear as it appears? Some day I will travel this area and see for myself, for now I will have to dream with your beautiful shots!
