This print, framed in a natural barn wood frame with a weathered gray stained finish created by the photographer, is truly unique and one-of-a-kind. An additional image shows the framed print hung on a wall with other furniture, to give a sense of size and scale of the finished artwork.
I have been fascinated with Cauldron Linn since I first explored it. The Snake River here is forced into a very narrow passage through the rock, forming waterfalls and unique shapes in the basalt. I enjoy scrambling down the cliff sides to get to the river edge, and following it as close as possible to the falls. I had just enjoyed climbing back out, and was headed back to the trail when the clouds began turning colors in the setting sun. The cloud cover was thick enough that they reflected an orange yellow glow on everything in sight. The water here typically reflects very blue, but this evening it was a rusty orange. The colors gained intensity for about 20 minutes, and I started to wonder if something was wrong with the settings on my camera, because my photos had such a strong bronze color cast. When I looked at the photos on the computer, I first thought I should try to correct the color cast, because it was so strong, but I later decided it was more authentic to leave it as it looked at the scene. I have rarely seen so much dramatic color in a sunset, and I am asked often if this photo is "real." In fact it is as authentic as my memory of the scene that evening, and is one of my favorite sunset images.
