This is also know as Chanticleer Point, and this sign describes how this section of the Gorge was formed over time. Flows of basalt left columnar walls, which the river, time, and ice have separated. On that map above, you can kind of see how my river flows down from Canada to the sea.

This is my father’s tripod- older than I am and still working fine. It has been all over, and here it poses for me in tribute to my dad, who introduced me to photography, and who would be so pleased at what I’ve done with it since.

It gouged out huge patterens in our landscape, and changed

everything in it’s pathway. After the flood water receded, volcanos errupted and earth quakes caused the land to rise and fall, creating those side ways patterns you see in rock cliffs.After all of it hardend erosion took over in the years to come to change the landscape further. All of this happened thousands of years ago,not millions.
