Golden Hour Wildflowers at Memaloose Plateau

Tim Trautmann @timtrautmann.com · Apr 28 Highway 30, Oregon, US

Wild sunflowers and purple lupine bask in the honeyed light of golden hour at Memaloose Plateau in Oregon's Columbia River Gorge. The delicate blooms catch the warm backlighting as the sun dips behind the layered ridgelines, creating a luminous foreground against the silvered waters of the Columbia River. The composition captures the untamed beauty of the gorge's native wildflower meadows, where clusters of yellow petals reach skyward through the prairie grass.
