One of Oregon's crown jewels has just recently taken a beating: Punch Bowl Falls in Eagle Creek, part of the Columbia River Gorge.
If you aren't aware, a couple of kids playing with fireworks set the entire area ablaze. Reports of their careless and inconsiderate actions are infuriating. Part of the reason I photograph is for posterity; taking images to remind me and others what things may have looked like before times of change. Arches falling, flood waters impacting, and fires destroying the natural world around us, really drive home the delicacy and fragility of life. During these times of loss I find a little consolation knowing that I've spent time at these places and got to know them. Sometimes it is better to have loved and lost then to never have loved at all. Lets all be mindful and careful out there!
