Today I reached 5000 Fans in Facebook. A view days ago I did a little voting from a selection of my recent USA trip and this photo reached No.1. To say THANK YOU this is my little present to you :-).
Just before noon the sun reached the top of the cliffs and created some heavenly God Rays in the spray of the Waterfall. What here looks like a photomanipulation is absolutely realistic and can be seen with a good timing on a sunny day.

Unfortunately we did not get the conditions we were after however we did have a reprise to save the weekend when we stopped at the Sugar Pine Forest which was covered in a wonderful envelope of fog.
Thanks to Tim P, Tim W, Ben and Bernie for the great weekend.

Who still remembers my post yesterday from Mt. Hood?!
Kingdom of a Mountain
This is a photo from diagonally back left, where you can better see the rising fog I mentioned. It made my return march through the forest a little later really creepy :-). I absolutely love such alpine vegetation. It all looks a bit enchanting and gnarled, like in a fairyland.

One of my main goals on my tour has been the cascade mountains. The old volcanic cones decorate the landscape like pearls and exude an indescribable Aurora. In the nearly four miles ascent up to this view towards Mount Hood I went past Mirror Lake, which you can see in the middle. As so often, I had to descent in the dark, which always cause a very queasy stomach. Nevertheless I´m quite happy how it turned out. The fog in my back would have can also make a spanner in the works.
