Knowles Creek
One of the most beautiful small rivers I have visited is Knowles Creek in western Oregon. One summer afternoon Christeena and I took a small hike along its banks, and along one section we walked there was nearly a mile of nonstop, staircase type waterfalls. There was nearly too much water to get nice photographs. When it comes to shooting waterfalls, I prefer just a little water as it tends to photograph better than a whole lot of water. When there is too much flow, the water just turns to a white, textureless streak. With less water a soft, ribbon like effect happens. It is much more interesting that way. You can almost feel the flow of the water.
There is just something about kicking back and relaxing on the banks of a river. The sound of the running water and the fresh air of the outdoors is so peaceful and nice. Even the occasional rainfall that came down didn’t disrupt the feeling in the air. I could hang out in the outdoors year round without a problem. It is my kind of life. Just me, my family and my camera. Wouldn’t that be nice!
