Opal Creek

The water along Opal Creek is simply amazing to see. The turquoise water is perfectly clear and flows rapidly through one of the best stands of old growth forest in the state of Oregon.

Unfortunately in 2020 a severe wildfire scorched this area, and there is a good chance that many years will go by before anyone is allowed back into this area. I'm happy that I was able to capture some of this area's beauty as it once was.
