Crossroads

Oregon

I titled this image "Crossroads" to capture the essence of the moment I experienced while standing on this wooden bridge within the Siuslaw National Forest. The bridge stretched out before me, guiding me into the lush, verdant heart of the forest. The air was cool and fresh, filled with the earthy scent of the forest and the invigorating aroma of the nearby waterfall.

To my left, the powerful 75-foot waterfall cascaded down the moss-covered cliffs, feeding the stream that rushed beneath the bridge. The force of the water created a fine mist that filled the air, occasionally drifting over and spraying me as I stood there capturing this shot. It was like a gentle reminder of nature's power, a battle between staying dry and embracing the refreshing coolness of the spray.

The cliffs on either side of the bridge were alive with vibrant greenery, ferns, and moss clinging to the rugged stone, creating a striking contrast. The sunlight filtering through the canopy above cast dappled shadows on the path, adding to the serene and almost mystical atmosphere. This moment, standing at the crossroads of nature, where the powerful force of the waterfall meets the stillness of the forest, was truly mesmerizing.

This image serves as a reminder of the raw, unfiltered beauty of nature and the peaceful solitude that can be found in such moments. The gentle spray from the waterfall, the cool air, and the lush greenery all came together to create a scene that felt like a hidden sanctuary, a place where time slows down and the world fades away.
