Dawn over the Columbia River Gorge, where long-exposure water glides like pale silk between towering basalt walls. Soft pink and steel-blue light streaks the sky above, drawing the eye up the sheer canyon cliffs toward open sky. A serene, painterly scene of river, rock and morning light for calm, modern spaces.
