Bridges of Multnomah County

The stonework on the guardrails and bridges along the scenic Columbia River Gorge drive dates back to the 1920s and is really quite lovely. The masonry is itself impressive, but the mossy growth that lines these old stones is equally beautiful.

As a result, it's unfortunate that my pictures of them were amongst the most disappointing shots I took all week. I really thought that I nailed these shots, and unfortunately, I did not. I think that the pictures I've posted here still convey something of how beautiful the drive through the Gorge is, but as for photographs, they are average at best.

I really don't know anything about photography, but I really like the upper shot. Cool stuff.

Thanks. I don't know that I know anything about photography either. I just feel like the leaves are distracting on these shots. I really like the bridges, and I wish they jumped out at you more.

If you want them jumping out, I suggest making them stereo!
