I finally made it out to the Columbia River Gorge on Thursday to check out the spring greens. It's crazy green out there right now, and here is one image from that day. All C&C are appreciated.

The two directions of water flow is quite an interesting but effective compositional decision. Well done.

Sweet. Whoever thought green could look so good. What a great time to be at the Gorge.

What beautiful greenery! I love the composition of the water coming in from the different directions.
