Columbia River Barge Autumn Colors

A barge moves along the Columbia River, framed by hills and trees in autumn colors.

October in the Columbia River Gorge, and the autumn colors were at their peak, with the hillsides ablaze in yellows, oranges, and reds. A barge is making its way upriver, leaving a slight wake on the water.
