These photos were taken from the Graves Creek Bridge on the East Fork Quinault trail in the Olympic National Park. I thought the difference between the two was interesting … you just wouldn’t likely think the photos were taken the same spot. The difference between the two ‘sides’ is purely a result change in gradient … there isn’t any dam or blockage below this point on the creek.
The Kestner Homestead is near the Quinault National Park Ranger Station. Depending on your choice of route (there are several loops), the distance is a couple miles. It is a beautiful spot to appreciate the lush growth of this temperate rainforest.
This is a photo that I took years ago on a trip to Bowron Lakes Provincial Park (BC) with a couple friends, one of whom was paddling a kayak. This was shot at a campsite halfway down Isaac Lake. I have always thought it was a nice photo … but for some reason I have never done anything much with it. So with some of the new AI tools to improve resolution and reduce noise, I decided to do a print and post it here on my blog.
These are just a couple of the small stream waterfalls that were along the Going to the Sun Highway in Glacier National Park. I wonder if the second one follows a fault line that helped it carve such a deep (little) canyon. That’s my Geology background coming to the surface.
On the far side of the valley is the current river bed. The little bit of water in the image is just a few wandering streams that likely show a future river channel. This is the Chilkat River outside of Haines, Alaska.
