Little North Fork Santiam River

What a strange experience. This is the first time I've ever seen a gravel forest road with speed limit signs and no parking signs. Go down the short access road and you'll find a rather large paved parking lot complete with speed bumps in the middle of the forest. I was almost surprised that there were no tire teeth.

There was one other car in the lot. The group of three was on their way out right after we arrived, so we had the place to ourselves. One of the men said, "I guess that we're not the only ones who like the rain." I can only imagine what a madhouse this is on a sunny summer day. I don't think that I would have wanted to be anywhere near it. Today however, it was wonderful to be in such a gorgeous location.

Another Great spot
I could shoot there all day in the rain
It will be even better in the fall with the leaf colours

Robert, this is fantastic. Great rich colors, I can see why you like the rainy days so much! And we have them just for you! ;)
This would be fantastic in HDR, do you ever work with that?

Beautifully captured rapids. The colors are rich and lush. Excellent shutter speed for the rushing water. V
