Leaves And Falls

Place: Near Florence, Oregon

Location: Sweet Creek

This area, which is a few miles inland from the Pacific Coast town of Florence, Oregon, was actually the floor of the Pacific Ocean 30 million years ago, but was then pushed to the surface by the advancing North American continent. The land mass that ultimately surfaced formed the Coast Range of Oregon.

In this image, I was intrigued by the shape made by the puddle of water, which seemed to point right out to the falls. Also drawing my interest was the alternating strips of land and water throughout the composition.
