same scene, over and over

 

 I do take "the same pictures" over and over, but each moment is a point in time and is unique.

Yeah, sounds like an excuse, but it’s true, and if the scene is beautiful, well, more beauty is needed in this world.

Today, my subject is the pool of the lower falls at Multnomah Falls, Oregon.

Benson Bridge spans the lower falls above me, and from there, you can see the lower falls in all seasons.

In the wet season, the flow of water over these lower falls is of great volume:

The falls are timeless:

35 minutes away from my home.

I live in a place of Great Beauty.
