Photographer’s Notes One of the natural vistas photographed frequently and presented on DPC is Multnomah Falls in northern Oregon. This was taken of the bridge that crosses the lower falls. I liked it because the light was nice at this hour. The lines of the bridge and the path were nice. And I could build a story around it, if only an imaginary one.
And for the record, it is Spring here.

Finally, a new angle of the bridge! This is refreshing in more than one way. I've never actually been up on the bridge before even though I've driven past the falls hundreds of times. This angle actually makes me want to stop more than any views with the majestic falls included. Great job.
Nice unusual composition for Multnomah's bridge. I saw it and instantly though, "hey, there's no basecamp 36 miles away...", but I'm guilty of pretend stories in my photographs as well. :)
You made me think of all sorts of hiking trips in my past where I pondered why so many switch backs. What a beautiful bridge for a trail. I love the greens and wish I could visit.
