Description
Toketee Falls is a waterfall in Douglas County, Oregon, United States, on the North Umpqua River at its confluence with the Clearwater River.It is located approximately 58 miles (93 km) east of Roseburg near Oregon Route 138. Toketee,is a Chinook word meaning "pretty" or "graceful." Carved from ancient columnar basalt, Toketee Falls drops approximately 120 feet (36 meters) in two stages. Since this waterfall is only accessible from a viewing platform at the end of a short trail, the angles to photograph it are very limited. The light, however, varies greatly during different times of the day. This image was shot in the early morning, before the sun rose up over the ridge. The soft light accentuates the rugged texture of the basalt columns on either side of the waterfall and brings out the colors of the autumn leaves.
