- Description
- An outside photograph of Meachem Creek in Oregon. The foreground displays a zoomed-in angle of the water that extends the entire width of the photograph. The water displays the reflection of sunlight and various patterns of water ripples and color. As the image pans in, the creek is boarded by two embankments. The left embankment displays clusters of conifers, leafless trees, and wild grasses and shrubs. A smal, sandy slope decends into the creek and traces of a hill can be seen behind the tree clusters. The right embankment displays clusters of conifers, leafless trees, and wild grasses and shrubs. Several pieces of timber have fallen and are on the banks of the creek. A small, flat, rocky terrain with small wild grasses extends off the right embankment and into the creek. A steep hill can be viewed behind the right embankment. In the background, more conifer clusters can be viewed. The top of the photograph displays open sky.
