I’ll leave this open till around Thanksgiving and draw a winner at random from all the entries on Friday, Nov 23rd. Thank you. P.S : By the by this shot is from an early morning at Bryce Canyon - the one canyon that really is not a canyon !!!

Oregon is blessed with so many many waterfalls. Still at 286 feet, Salt Creek is definitely one of the most impressive. Located at Hwy 58 around 20 miles east of Oakridge, it is easily accessible. The view point is just 20 feet from the parking, but it is well worth to take the hike down to the base of the falls. There are many views along the canyon rim as you hike down, but I still liked this view from the top. Though the scale of the falls is not very prominent in this view, I dig how this showcases the falls along with her landscape. One could just watch the fog play hide and seek - all day. The cool breeze of the enduring autumn fog along with a hint of falls colors added to the grandeur.

The Cedar Creek Grist Mill - Stumbled across this lovely place by chance. Did not realize it was such a prominent landmark. Located just couple of miles from woodland, WA – this mill still holds the original structural integrity, grinds with stones even today and is water powered. Being a little more than a century old, the place is definitely rustic. The stream of water, the covered bridge and the colors of the fall season definitely adds to the splendid scenery. If you are around here is the pacific north west, now is the best time to visit the place, as the fall colors are at peak. If not, you can always enjoy the same thru my shots !
