Multnomah Falls

Photo courtesy of Ron Trees. Today's picture features beautiful Multnomah Falls, one of the most visited waterfalls in the Pacific Northwest. Besides their obvious beauty, these falls are quite special to photographer Ron Trees for another reason. Here is Ron to tell you about it: "We went on vacation a couple weeks back to visit my oldest daughter in Grants Pass, OR. One of the ways to get there is to go through Portland, OR. On our way home, we were running late, but made a stop by Multnomah Falls which is not far out of Portland. It is a beautiful place to visit if you are ever in the area. It was late in the day, but I still managed to get a few pictures. Multnomah Falls is a special place for my wife and I as it was one of the stops on our honeymoon, 26 years ago."  --Ron Trees Click here for more information about Multnomah Falls.     Visitor Comments... Name: Winston "Rocky" Rockwell Town: Kirkland, WA A lovely shot of a beautiful falls. It's hard to capture this photo without hordes of tourists lining the bridge, but Ron has done that perfectly, and caught the grace and color of the falls very nicely as well. Multnomah Falls is on my list of places to visit again soon…     Name: Robert Schwarztrauber Town: Buffalo, NY That's a spectacular scene Ron! Well shot. The height and distance captured is amazing. Perfectly set off and brought into perspective by the bridge. It makes me want to get there to see it myself one day! My Niagara Falls here might be massive but it's got nothing on Multnomah Falls. Thanks for sharing that great photograph Ron.
