“Stoneflow”

Description:
Photographed from Laurance Lake Drive on Mount Hood’s northern slope, this scene shows the Eliot Glacier–fed stream winding through a boulder field toward Oregon’s tallest volcanic peak. Named by Lieutenant William Broughton in 1792 for Admiral Samuel Hood, Mount Hood remains one of the state’s most iconic and accessible Cascade volcanoes.

Story:
The destination was Laurance Lake, but the real payoff was this pullout along the road. The moment I saw the stream zig-zagging through the boulders toward Mount Hood, dusted with its first snows of the season, I knew this was the composition worth stopping for. Autumn 2019 was spectacular, and this scene felt like proof.

Stoneflow reminds me that some of the best photographs happen when you’re not planning for them at all. Those unexpected finds are rare, but they’re part of what keeps me getting up before dawn, driving for hours, and wandering with no guarantee of success. Sometimes the landscape simply reveals itself.

The Eliot Glacier, melting slowly,
feeds the canyon, water flowing;

Through the trees, cutting rocks,
pure and clean, clearing thoughts;

Nice view on way to Laurance Lake,
Stop and listen, picture take.
