This Black & White photograph captures Elowah Falls plunging more than 200 feet from a basalt lip along McCord Creek in the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area. Named after an early homesteader who settled on the land below this waterfall, McCord Creek is greatly reduced in flow by mid summer and Elowah Falls may blow away on the wind before reaching the ground. Due to the abundant rainfall and its low elevation, the Columbia Gorge is a verdant paradise of enormous old-growth firs, dripping moss gardens, waterfalls, and ferns all along its 80-mile length through the Cascade Mountains of western Oregon. This black & white vertical photograph was captured with a 6x7 format camera. All photos in these fine art photo galleries may be ordered as fine art black & white framed prints or for B&W stock photography usage.
