Prepare to embark with me on a mesmerizing photography expedition that begins in the vibrant city of Spokane, Washington, and winds its way through the diverse landscapes of the Pacific Northwest, culminating in the picturesque coastal town of Newport, Oregon. We are preparing to travel in early Spring 2024.
Our journey commences bidding farewell to the beautiful city of Spokane, where the bustling cityscape gives way to the serene beauty of the surrounding countryside.
We will venture westward, as we set out on I-90 then Highway 395, meandering through the rolling hills and verdant valleys of eastern Washington. As we traverse this scenic route, cameras are poised to capture the rugged charm of the landscape, from golden fields stretching to the horizon to the majestic peaks of the Cascade Range looming in the distance.
Join me as we explore the Beauty of the Inland Northwest, we'll capture the rugged beauty of the mountainous terrain and the tranquil charm of the rural landscapes. From sweeping vistas of rolling hills to intimate snapshots of small-town life, each frame tells a story of the unique character and spirit of the Pacific Northwest.
Continuing our journey, we merge onto Interstate 84, following the Columbia River as it carves its way through the rugged terrain of the Pacific Northwest. Along the way, we make a stop at the iconic Multnomah Falls, where the cascading waters plunge dramatically into the lush greenery below. Here, we pause to capture the beauty and power of nature, immortalizing this breathtaking spectacle through our lenses.
Not far up the road, we will camp for the night at one of the many locations along our route. I am really looking forward to some fresh spring air, a warm campfire, and the beauty and sounds of nature. May even roast a marshmallow for a well-deserved smore. Yum. In the morning, we will make our way to explore the Multnomah Falls. I plan on documenting my journey with videos and blog posts. You will see the sunrise with me, walk the path to the falls, and see some amazing views.
From Multnomah Falls, we will continue our westward trek toward Newport, Oregon, where the rugged coastline and amazing lighthouses awaits. As we arrive in Newport, we are greeted by the salty sea breeze and the sound of crashing waves, signaling the beginning of our exploration of the Oregon coast.
Driving along the scenic coastline, we will be treated to panoramic views of rocky cliffs, sandy beaches, and dramatic sea stacks rising from the ocean. Our cameras will be constantly clicking as we capture the ever-changing beauty of the coastal landscape, from fiery sunsets casting a golden glow over the horizon to misty mornings shrouded in ethereal fog.
But our journey doesn't end with the scenery – Newport itself offers a wealth of photographic opportunities, from its quaint harbor dotted with fishing boats to its historic lighthouses perched on rocky promontories. Each frame tells a story of the town's rich maritime history and enduring natural beauty, inviting us to explore and capture its essence through our lenses.
I invite you to come with me virtually and explore the beauty and tranquility nature provides. Look through my camera lens with me. On this journey, you will see and experience the beauty and avoid the bugs.
