2010, Day 328 - Fire and ice

Sometimes I think this photo-of-the-day thing is going to be the death of me... Yesterday I went out to Multnomah Falls but I decided to head back before photographing all of my potential subjects thinking that I could run out again this morning, which is what I did. Luckily for me the temperature dropped even lower last night and when I got up this morning it was nineteen degrees out.

Not to be deterred I bravely drove east into the high winds of the Gorge to bring you the following photos. I wanted to capture the sunrise and I feel fortunate to have left so early (just before six thirty) because there was color but it lasted only minutes and then the clouds closed ranks again. What struck me when reviewing today's photos is that there are in almost all of them distinct elements of warmth in otherwise cold scenes.

  1. Sheesh, these are beautiful. You are so brave, 19° and wind are totally not tolerable.

    The gorge shot is simply amazing.
