“Hood River Bridge (Autumn)”
Description:
Hood River was incorporated in 1895, with the Hood River Bridge completed in 1924 and expanded after Bonneville Dam was built in the 1930s. Photographed from a tribal fishing site in autumn, this view features the bridge spanning the Columbia River with Mount Hood rising behind it.
Story:
Autumn colors met the bridge lights as Mount Hood rose in the distance. What the photograph doesn’t reveal—thankfully—is the smell. The shoreline around me was littered with salmon carcasses, a reminder of the fall run winding down. I hadn’t expected that part.
Like my winter version of this scene, I had to wear waders to reach the rocky rivershore. This time, wading through water tinged by decaying fish added a new level of commitment. Every step felt questionable, but the composition kept me focused. The soft morning light, the glow of the lift-span bridge, and the snow-covered stratovolcano aligned for just a few minutes.
Sometimes photography requires a bit of discomfort. This one required ignoring everything except the shot.
