Shoshone Falls

Shoshone Falls is a waterfall on the Snake River located approximately five miles east of Twin Falls, Idaho. Sometimes called the "Niagara of the West," Shoshone Falls is 212 feet high -- 36 feet higher than Niagara Falls -- and flows over a rim 900 feet wide.




Depending what angle you look at the falls you will see a rainbow in the mist of the spray from the water running over the falls.



Stonehenge

The Maryhill Stonehenge is a full-size, astronomically-aligned replica of Stonehenge located in Maryhill, Washington along the Columbia River. It was commissioned in the early 20th century by businessman Samuel Hill and dedicated on July 4, 1918 as a memorial to those that died in World War I. The memorial was completed in 1929.

Portland City Lights





















Downtown Portland Oregon was a fun place to shoot at night. I even got to see the bridge go up for a boat to pass under it.
