A rustic wooden suspension bridge stretches across a misty forest landscape, enveloped in a dense fog that obscures distant views. The bridge's wooden planks provide a weathered pathway, flanked by sturdy metal cables and railings that guide visitors safely across. Towering evergreen trees, their trunks cloaked in moss and ferns, rise like sentinels from the lush undergrowth, their branches reaching upward into the hazy canopy above. The scene exudes a sense of tranquility and serenity, inviting exploration and contemplation amidst the embrace of nature's verdant embrace.

Best of week three [52 weeks series]. The series continues with a shot of the drift creek falls suspension bridge. Along our trip to the coast it had started to pour down rain, and when I say "pour" I mean buckets upon buckets of rain. We were thinking we might not be able to do the hike after all; however just as we parked and got out of our car, the rain lifted and pulled back to a drizzle. The hike to the falls is quite backwards, literally, you hike down in evaluation on the way there and up on the way back which is pretty uncommon for a waterfall hike in Oregon. Once we arrived at the falls we scrambled all over, getting different vantage points and getting soaking wet the process, i.e. the usual. Just as we were leaving, my companion was walking ahead of me, and stopped along the bridge. I took a few photos and ended up with this. It's not a moment of spectacular light, or a rushing waterfall, but it tells its own story and leads you in. I've always loved suspension bridges because of the lines they present for a composition, and the many stories you can tell with them just by changing up the angle just a bit.. oh, and a fun little insight as many of you asked about my post processing process. Most of the time it's pretty simple and an edit will take 30 minutes or so top.. but other times, well you end up with about 15 different versions of the same photo in your camera roll. to those who helped with the "warm vs. cold" dilemma, thank you! and I hope you enjoy the result! Lastly, if you've read this far I invite you to join me on my adventures this weekend via snapchat: jhamil_bader here's to the weekend!
