Description
The water flowing down Wahkeena Creek seems to be in a hurry to join the mighty Columbia River from the Oregon side of the scenic Columbia River Gorge. Rushing along on it's trip it cascades over rapids in the cool mossy rain forest. A single beam of sunlight highlights some leaves in the upper left and makes the maidenhair fern on the lower right glow with warmth. A single large cedar tree stands guard in this idyllic scene and adds balance to the diagonal motion of the stream. Beware of being caught daydreaming as you gaze into this classic landscape imagining yourself there in the cool mist on a warm summer day.
