Snoqualmie Falls

[BobH]

Stopped by on the way home from a project the other day. Before I went, something was bothering me, but I thought it was just that the falls were probably going to be in shadow at that time of day.

Once I got there, I remembered the other issue. The falls are currently a construction project! Being a government job, it's been going on since 2009, and won't be done until 2013. http://www.pse.com/inyourcommunity/...lmie-Falls-Hydroelectric-Project-Upgrade.aspx

Just for fun and practice, I did a quick HDR. Hand held, since with the cranes and sheet piling wall it wasn't going to be a great shot no matter what I did... I can see some nice potential here once the work is done.

Good too know I'm heading Seattle way soon so I know to go elsewhere. I remember this being up for "photoshop this".

Thanks Christena! This kind of local and current info is exactly why I created this site. Things change... Snoqualmie Falls is normally a premier photo destination. For the next year or two, not quite as picturesque.

Mt Rainier National Park is another example. The wildflowers are late this year, where they're blooming at all. You can get up to date info here.
