This is it. The waterfall that got me soaked. OK, it’s not the waterfall’s fault. And I didn’t get completely soaked, but I did get pretty wet. It wasn’t raining when we got out of the car, so my dad and I walked down to the base. On the way down it started raining a little bit, but nothing serious. Then we got to the base and I got a few pictures with my wide lens. We were heading back up when I decided I needed a picture of myself. That’s when it really started raining. My dad shot a couple pictures, and the downpour started. I put my camera under my jacket and we ran back up the hill to the car. It was too late though; the damage was done. We were pretty wet. It was worth it though, and my camera survived.

I’m usually the one taking pictures. I don’t take too many self-portraits when I’m out shooting at pretty places, so when I had the opportunity to have my dad take a picture of me with a cool background I jumped on it.

The first full day I was in Portland last month we took a nice drive up the Colombia River Gorge to check out the sights. Along the way we stopped at a few waterfalls, including the ones featured here; Multnomah Falls, Horsetail Falls, Wahkeena Falls, and Latourell Falls. It rained much of the day, and it had been raining a lot prior to our arrival, and while it made for a few wet situations (like when my dad and I walked to the base of Latourell Falls and got caught in a downpour) it made for a lot of water flowing through each of the falls. As I’ve mentioned before, waterfalls kind of amaze me; they’re made of a seemingly infinite amount of water flowing so furiously.
First up: Multnomah Falls. Sure, you’ve seen it on film. Well now, you’ll see it digitally and wide.
