Images of lush foliage, streams, and waterfalls of the Pacific Northwest. The Columbia River Gorge and surrounding rainforest environment are home to countless waterfalls and streams, located deep with the Cascade Mountain Range of Central Oregon.

Fierce
I’ve visited Panther Creek Falls many times over the years, but never took a photo I was happy with. This particular morning I was all alone, in awe watching the torrential flow from waterfalls surrounding me in all directions, as the above average snowpack melts in the first days of spring. I returned here a couple of days later to find the flow of the falls less than half what it was this one amazing morning.

Silent Spring
An intimate scene along one of many creeks in the Columbia Gorge. The immediate foreground is only a couple of feet wide; I positioned myself between several low tree limbs with the camera just a few inches from the ground to bring this scene to life.

Only Time
The trees in this old growth forest in the Columbia Gorge shatter the early morning light onto a pictureque creek. The haze from distant wildfires made the light especially diffuse this particular morning. © Chris Moore - Exploring Light PhotographyPURCHASE A PRINT
