Taken a couple weeks ago just after the road opened up to motor vehicles.

there is still a gate closed on the Still creek road for those interested....so as of yesterday you can not get from Trillium to Hwy 26 via still creek....the road is clear of snow so it should just be a matter of days...

Thanks again for all the nice comments about the Columbia Gorge Magazine!!!!

I saw this one up on Flickr Darren and I love it. When the sky is that good a 50/50 comp looks great. Did you happen to put a pano together? It looks like the color spread far and wide!

We've all seen plenty of Trillium lake shots, but this has got to be up there towards the top of the heap. What a sky!

I have to agree with the others - what a great image!

Darren,
I was in the gorge (conducting a workshop) shooting sunrise this day (I think) as well. Sunrise was amazing, as is this image!
