Across the River

Matt Perkins November 7, 2022

The Columbia River Gorge is a canyon that stretches on for 80 miles as it channels its way through the Cascade Range. The gorge and river form a natural border between Oregon and Washington. This photo was taken on the Oregon side of the river, just down the roadway from Multnomah Falls. The overcast and gray skies still allowed us some amazingly beautiful fall views including this one of clouds crossing the face of a ridgeline two miles away.

Boyce Thompson Milky Way

Matt Perkins June 20, 2021

We have at least three significant wildfires burning east and northeast of Phoenix. Record drought and unusually hot weather have made these fires extremely difficult to contain. After spending a day taking some pictures at South Mountain I had the idea to try and get a time-lapse of the fires from an area well away from the firefighting operations. Photos posted by others showed visible flames from Apache Junction and East Mesa so at midnight I decided to drive out to a parking area across from Boyce Thompson Arboretum. Whether the fires had died down a bit by that point or I just didn’t have a good vantage point the end result was that I couldn’t even see a glow from my vantage point. My location was well outside of Phoenix and about 3.5 miles outside of Superior, AZ. As such there was very little light pollution and while a view of the fire was not to be seen I had an amazing view of the stars and the Milky Way.
