Stone Bridge at Wahkeena Falls
This image was created from the approach to the stone bridge at the base of Wahkeena Falls. This is just before Wahkeena Creek cascades down more than 100 feet over an alluvial fan before continuing to the Columbia River. I was drawn to this image for the juxtaposition of the rough stone bridge to the softness of the flowing water.

Canon 5D MKII, TS-E24mm f/3.5L II, 1/8 sec. at f/16, ISO 400, warming polarizer

Love the stone work from that WPA, 1930's, era. A unique look at both the bridge and falls.
