Revisiting some favorite places #34: The Columbia River Gorge cuts through the Cascade Mountain Range. The West side is the "wet" side with a milder climate and more rainfall. Going through the Gorge gives the traveler a wonderful view of the differences. Here, the pine and juniper trees start giving in to the fir, cedar, and hemlock. At 3,848' in elevation, Nesmith Point is the highest point along the cliffs lining the Columbia River Gorge on the Oregon side. It's named after a distant relative-- James Ellis Nesmith (1820-1885), a cousin of one of my great-great-grandfathers.

This is a great geographical lesson to see how terrain can create microclimate.
So many colours of green. Lovely Bill.
Stunning. You know more about your relatives than I do about mine.
La luz y los colores funcionan muy bien.
Buena vista, de un maravilloso paisaje.
Un abrazo
¡Qué frondosidad!
Bonitos colores del bosque. Debe ser una buena caminata aproximarse hasta allí.
Un abrazo.
Bill, that is an impressive mountain landscape from up close to far away. I have been enjoying your favorite photo.
I feel I have a similar photo taken along the gorge but no relative to talk about.
