Approaching Eagle Creek Recreation Area

We went along our with daughter, Angie, to keep her company when she drove to Pendleton, close to 320 miles away, to look at a horse she saw on the Internet. And we came back today. On the way up the Columbia River Gorge from Portland, we went through this tunnel. This area of the Gorge is lush and beautiful. I grabbed a couple shots through the windshield as we went through the tunnel, but I liked best this one as we came out of it. Forgive the gray sky, but it was raining. Oh, and Angie was driving. :)

"The light at the end of the tunnel" - interesting possible symbolism about the Recreation Area, and a fine composition.

Wonderful shot of the tunnel exit and the lush forest beyond. The spring colors are lovely ranging from yellow to green and the many hues in-between, The tunnel gives a nice, natural vignette to the composition. Very nice, Al. Vote.

Good shot of the tunnel! ...

I once started in Brookings and had to be north of La Grande by the evening (this was work). I drove all day ... got to Pendleton ... and all roads over the Blue Mountains were closed (even I-84) owing to a massive snow storm. I called my client and canceled the meeting. It was late afternoon. Having nothing else to do, I turned around and drove home (which was Salem in those days). it was like a total of 14 hours of driving and not a billaable hour to speak for it.

I love how the tunnel frames the image! We have a few of these in NJ. Some of them are one lane tunnels. V

Lovely, and perfectly framed.

this is a beautiful area...sharp shooting through the windscreen too...the I-84 leads the eye well, and the forest looks a healthy one..
