Multnomah Falls is a waterfall on the Oregon side of the Columbia River Gorge, located east of Troutdale, between Corbett and Dodson, along the Historic Columbia River Highway. The falls drops in two major steps, split into an upper falls of 542 feet (165 m) and a lower falls of 69 feet (21 m), with a gradual 9 foot (3 m) drop in elevation between the two, so the total height of the waterfall is conventionally given as 620 feet (189 m). Multnomah Falls is the tallest waterfall in the State of Oregon. It is credited by a sign at the site of the falls as the second tallest year-round waterfall in the United States but that claim is debated among waterfall experts.

A foot trail leads to Benson Footbridge, a 45-foot (14 m)-long footbridge that allows visitors to cross 105 feet (32 m) above the lower cascade. The trail continues to a platform at the top of the upper falls where visitors get a bird's-eye view of the Columbia Gorge and also of "Little Multnomah", a small cascade slightly upstream from the "upper" falls, which is not visible from ground level. The footbridge is named after Simon Benson, who had the bridge built in 1914.

I had the chance to meet up with a long time flickr friend, and amazing photographer, Rasekh aka Wherever I Roam here in Victoria this week. If you like my work, then you'll definitely enjoy his. He has a great collection of photos from all over the world. Check him out.

The above shot was done with exposure fusion in Photomatix. I've never had much success with this method, but this time it finally worked.

I woke up before the crack of dawn this morning to shoot the sunrise with Ireena. This was probably the first sunrise that I've seen in over a year, as I'm primarily a night owl. As you can see it wasn't the greatest sunrise, but it could have been much worse.

I also got to try out a Neutral Density filter for the first time ever. I was pretty impressed with how it brought out the details. On my list of things to get... I think so!

Thanks for stopping by, and have a great weekend!

After what seemed like an eternity of rain and dark clouds, I was finally able to go and shoot the sunset tonight. This is my first shot of 2012. Taken from Saxe Point Park in Esquimalt, B.C.
