Youngs River Falls. Clatsop County, Oregon. April 10, 2025.
Youngs River spring runoff produces heavy mist around the plunge pool, making this photo more difficult to capture. I had to shoot this shot quickly before the mist builds up on the lens and gives the scene a dreamy effect. The vegetation surrounding the pool limits my positioning.
I can try photographing the falls again in the summer when the water level is lower, but I can also expect more swimmers at this popular swimming hole.
