A streetlamp seen against the background of the other side of the 
Columbia River.
A picture focused on the flatlands next to the river. The road by 
the way is interstate 30.
The first waterfall we stopped by, Latourell Falls.

I like the texture of the wood arches and trusses supporting this bridge 
on the Historic Columbia River Highway.  Excellent.
A vibrant green scene and stream on the way to Bridal Veil Falls.

Bridal Veil Falls.
Looking back down the trail leading to Bridal Veil Falls.  (The stream 
is the fall run-off.) Excellent for the color of the moss 
blanketing the trees.
Wahkeena Falls.  If you look closely, you can see the bridge in the 
middle of the photograph close to the falls.  We decided we didn't have 
time to hike up there, so I took this picture of the falls from near the 
parking area.
Multnomah Falls, the second-highest year-round-water-flow waterfall in 
the United States.

A higher-resolution shot of Multnomah Falls.  The falls have two 
segments.  The overlook bridge is about a fifth of the way up the upper 
segment, which is by the far the largest one.  I believe I climbed 
to the overlook bridge when I visited in 2002, so I didn't feel the need 
to do so this time.
The lower segment of Multnomah Falls.
Horsetail Falls.

We detoured quickly through the Bonneville Dam complex, but didn't pause to take pictures. I don't regret skipping the pictures; it wasn't particularly photogenic.
