Silver Creek Falls Two

This is the second post featuring photos from Silver Creek Falls Park in Oregon.

The first and fourth photos here feature the outside of the main lodge.  The second photo is the Upper North Falls and is 65 feet. A much overlooked falls but, actually one of the easier ones to get to.

The last photo is some wildflowers in bloom along one of the trails. Hikers and flower lovers can go berserk!

Silver Creek Falls

The Silver Creek Falls Park is the "grandaddy" of all the State Parks in Oregon. It's some 9000 acres and comprises of world-class ten water falls, hiking, camping, picnicking, biking, equestrian, nature observing and just plain relaxing...and, did I say a cool place to take the puppy.

The Park has a history second to none going back before the Park was even conceived.

The first photo here is of a structure built in the Depression Era by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) as well a most of the structures, walking paths that are in the Park.

The third photo is the South Falls. If you don't think it's big look for the people at about the half way mark. It will put some perspective on it.

The fourth photo is a cougar (stuffed) that is on display in the main lodge. Yes, there are bears and cougars.

An interesting book is Grant's Getaways II (link to Amazon). It has a nice section on the Park and some great photography. A must guide for Oregonians and tourist alike...check it out!

Silverton Oregon Photography in HDR

 Bobbie The Wonder Dog

Silverton, Oregon is the original home of Bobbie the Wonder Dog, a Collie mix that was separated from his family in 1923 while on vacation in Indiana.  Unfortunately, they didn't find Bobbie before having to return back home to Oregon and had to leave without him. 

Not to worry, six months and 2,800 miles later Bobbie returned home to Silverton, on his own, in the dead of winter across plains, deserts and mountains.  Impossible you say?

You may want to research and read more about this amazing dog.  If you are a dog lover, tears will come!

Anyway, Silverton is a cool town and a must place to visit if you ever venture to Oregon. It is about 20 miles from Salem. And, it's on the way to the famous Silver Creek Falls Park...Oregon's largest park.

I didn't include shots of downtown or neighborhoods.  It was too late in the day and movement (cars, people) of any kind is detrimental to HDR photography. Since at least one one exposure of three is long all you would see is blurry people and cars. See here for an explanation of HDR Photography.

I didn't go berserk and photograph everything...a later post will come with more.  For now, I photographed along the water (Silver Creek) that flows through downtown and a rather cool park. 

All the photos here were taken in HDR. Enjoy!
