Tony I was just browsing your Columbia River set on your PBase, and 2 of the gorge shots in particular are beautiful (the one with the bench in the bottom left and the hazy one with the bird in the middle) - you really should go back there at sunset when the light is better.

Yeah, it's a bit to travel, and I'm not even sure what the best time of day would be (it's on the south bank of the river so the sun is always a bit contrary) but I do need to get back there at some different times.

Surprisingly it's still rather cold (for California) in the mornings even though we're in March. A lot of the trees are in bloom around here. Lots of pink blossomed almond orchards along the highway.
