Had a couple of hours to kill while on a work trip to Central Oregon earlier this week. This was my first time to Smith Rock.

Too bad about the sky, nothing you can do 'bout that. Crooked River is a beautiful area, desolate as it is. I've got to get over there... That river's pretty, um, crooked... I tend to ramble. Feel free to put me on ignore.

I would like to make a trip back up to Detroit Dam sooner, though. There are some FABULOUS waterfalls right now. They're literally everywhere. It looks like we're going to get some freezing weather up there so they should be frozen soon. I've never shot them, but would love to give it a shot. Well, if you're in Sisters, you can breeze over to Detroit Dam, or over to Metolius, or Crooked River, Three Sisters, the whole she-bang. I tend to ramble. Feel free to put me on ignore.

What a great opportunity though to be able to take such photos on a work trip. For me getting there would be a holiday of a lifetime.

The first photo is excellent. The sky is an important ingredient for such scenes. Stan (See my gallery at http://www.pbase.com/sparker1

Dec 16, 2006 17:34 | #14 Thank you all so much for your comments. I'm going to try processing some more shots and see if I can find a shot with sky not blown. Believe it or not, I had a CP on most of the time.
