We arrived at the falls, which are in the Columbia River Gorge, east of Portland, Oregon, early on a Sunday morning. For a while we had the roaring falls all to ourselves.

I made a similar photograph last year on my trip to Oregon, which is in another pbase gallery. Repeating the set-up for this photograph, which meant waling up to and down from the empty bridge a couple of times, was enjoyable. My thanks to Hal Grant, who waited patiently and positioned me - wich hand signals - on the bridge.
