Photo of the Day by A. F. Litt: November 11, 2015
For today's photo I went a little random into the old files and landed in some shots I took in Oxbow Regional Park back in 2010. What's cool about this shot is that you can see the stumps buried in Mt. Hood's 1781 Old Maid eruptions emerging. After some major storms over the next few years, much more of this bank was eroded away revealing many more of these old trees. These stumps first came to attention in 2013, but this photo shows that some were already starting to poke out a few years earlier...
