Description

My husband and I ventured into the forest in the Coast Range near Lincoln City with our little dog to find Drift Creek Falls, a place I had heard a lot about and seen many pictures of but had never been. When we arrived at the viewpoint I was somewhat uninspired by the low volume of water dribbling down the cliff. I found this intricate web of roots next to the trail near the viewpoint and used it as a foreground for this peaceful forested scene. Thin, high fog moved in and the forest became eerily still – away from the creek there was literally no sound at all nor any breeze to stir the leaves, nor birds or even insects flitting about…just calm, cool stillness…a rarity in today’s busy world that was honestly slightly unsettling.
