Multnomath Falls, Oregon
When we started planning our trip to Oregon, Multomath Falls was the one thing that I definitely wanted to see. As you can see we definitely made it. This shot was handheld with a fast shutter, I have a few other creative shots I'll share in the near future, some nice long exposures. At around 620 feet tall the falls are beautiful to visit any time of year. And being only 30 minutes to the east of Portland they are easy to get to. Even in the dry days of summer... (yes Portland does have dry days, this was the end of August and they had not had any rain for the whole month.) even in summer, the falls are full and beautiful because they are fed by an underground spring. Still, I can't wait to go back and see what they are like in the rainy season.

Bridal Veil Moss View
This is a view of Bridal Veil Falls in Oregon through the beautiful moss covered trees. Bridal Veil is just south of the columbia river on the northern border with Washington. It is a bit of a hike down to the falls (and even more of a hike back up) but it's definitely worth the trip.

The Getty Center Main Garden, Virtual Reality
Another hand-held virtual reality shot from The Getty Center in Los Angeles.
From a distance the main garden looks like a very cool topiary hedge maze,
and it is, but to find the Minotaur in the center of this labyrinth you need a gondola. Because it
is in the middle of an amazing fountain.
This, of course starts the discussion of how do you think they
trim the maze. Because it's really nicely groomed. It's not like they could drain the fountain
every time it needs a trim. Gondoliers with hedge trimmers? Hope they're not electric trimmers.
Oh well I guess we'll have to chalk that up to the mysteries of the ages.
If you'd like to see a great virtual reality shot of another fountain in The Getty Center at sunset take a look at February 6th

Nojoqui Falls Rock Shelter
This little cave-like formation is common at the bottom of a waterfall. The churning of the water easily erodes the rock more quickly than the falling water down the face of the waterfall. I would imagine it would be a much more violent and dangerous place in the middle of a rain storm. But I'll bet it's a spectacular sight!

Nojoqui Falls
Sometimes I like to play with Photoshop a bit!
It has been really hazy this year, not very conducive to scenery
and architecture photos of Santa Barbara. (although I have been
thinking about some cool evening photos through the fog).
But the wet weather has it\'s benefits. Nojoqui Falls, just up
101 from Santa Barbara, is only a trickle
in the summer and on dry years. This is a
photo I took a few years ago, but all the greyness
in Santa Barbara has been making me think
about the need for a trip somewhere north of here.
Not that I really need much of an excuse to go
exploring with my camera! :-D
Oh, by the way, there is some debate as to how
you pronounce "Nojoqui". Some people insist
it is na-ho-KEY or no-ho-KEY, but most locals pronounce it
nah-WHO-wee and that is how I learned to say it.

San Diego Water Fall
This is a shot from a couple of years ago.
We used to celebrate my best friend's
birthday in La Jolla (pronounced Lah-HOY-ya. It is right outside of
San Diego for all you non-Californians.)
On this particular birthday she wanted to go to a botanical
garden we had heard about, and it was beautiful!
