PJS posted the same subject here, but I took these today and thought I would share.
Multnomah Falls in Oregon:

Such a contrast. The scent of autumn is heavy in the air--dead leaves on the ground crunch beneath your feet. But the temperature and sky (other than the sun's position) says June 12, not October 12. And I doubt we'll have as nice a day as this until next May, I suspect. It's 81 degrees in the middle of October. But the leaves tell the tale.

Great shot Don, full of fantastic colors! Sure is terrific weather too, like you said. I'm thoroughly enjoying it here.

Hey, thanks!
I have a crappy camera and know next to nothing about photography, but it was definitely a beautiful view. |

Thanks, but it's not quite as good a shot as I would have liked. Sun angle is just a bit off, making it a bit harsh light (even with PS CS3).
This is where it was taken. I'm sure the earth won't move to let people know.

Knight,
You're presenting yourself as almost... human. Again, it's as though the crunchy candy shell of anarchcapitalism belies the soft an' chewey nougat of of love...
Fuckin' creepy. Did a coconut hit you on the head ala "Gilligan's Ilsand" and make you forget who you are?

Buck,
The Rick Copeland grew up in Detroit and spent some time around Michigan. Once you get out of the Metro-Deetroit area it's quite a pretty state...

Knight,
If you want some great photos go around Multomah Falls in Oregon. The Rick Copeland goes to Portland every now and then (he has friends there) and it's really something. Check it out. It's butthurt free...

It's rare that I get a chance to travel (money and all, you know). Petrifying Springs is a mere 5 or so miles from my house.
