Description Smith Rock is one of the most unique natural landmarks and parks I have visited in Oregon. Coming from (wet&wild) Portland the scenic change is astounding and definitely worth the trip. I felt like I was in an old western with Dean Martin and Ricky Nelson! This particular shot is taken before descending down into the canyon - before you can decide which exciting trail to traverse. I think this is a sweet spot, too, which means I didn't have to try too hard to 'find' a shot. Rather, it found me.
Kristen Rohder, Portland Member Since December 2015 Artist Statement Living Landscape is a passion project inspired and cultivated by three of the following things I strive for: adventure, mindfulness, and peace. These constructs resonate with my personal growth and genuine need to live with an open heart and mind. Since moving to the great Pacific Northwest I've been able to find so much joy in the moments when these three things are present. Whether I am on a walk in my neighborhood, hiking on the coast, or trying something new altogether, I am constantly amazed at how this way of life can enhance every aspect of being alive. Thank you so much for stopping by and sharing in my journey. Peace!
