Punch Bowl Falls, a photo from Oregon, Ouest

Photographer's Note

Punch Bowl Falls is the second of 6 waterfalls situated along the Eagle Creek Trail approx. 20 miles east of Portland on I-84 East Freeway.
The entire hike to the sixth falls, Eagle Creek Falls is 13 miles roundtrip and is one of, if not, the most scenic and photogenic gorges in Oregon as it traverses along basalt cliff faces nearly the entire length of the trail.
The waterfalls from the beginning of the hike are Metlako, Punch Bowl, Loowit, Skoonichuk, Tunnel, and Eagle Creek Falls.
Springtime brings many assorted wildflowers and fall brings vivd colors to the vegetation that clings to the basalt cliff faces along the entire route.

--------A must do if you have a day extra on your agendas when visiting Oregon-------

hi Steven

Superb B&W with soft hues, with a backlight which illuminates the forest, and details in the shadowy parts.
Congratulations
