Fall and the Strolling Pond
Portland Japanese Garden, Portland, Oregon
Knowing where to be and when to be there is very different then actually being there. I've tried to get to this spot for the peak of Fall color the past 4 years and haven't been able to. This year was different and had I waited another day this scene would have been very different. The weather changed drastically later in the day with wind and rain pulling the leaves off the trees, I would have had to wait another year....again.
I think the Japanese Garden in Portland is photographically the best on the west coast and is often crowded. This scene doesn't show it but there are dozens of people that have either just stepped out of the scene of are about to enter it and when photographing a scene like this with so many frames avoiding people is a serious challenge. I feel lucky to have been there on this day and to have had all the pieces come together.
I want to thank the gardeners at the garden for all they do to make this such a great place to visit.

Our ready-to-hang canvas prints are created using a specialty printer that carefully lays pigment inks down onto archival-quality fine art canvas material. The canvas is then stretched around a 1.5-inch-deep wood support structure to provide depth and elegance. Our canvas material has a delightfully matte finish that looks spectacular in any lighting conditions while retaining maximum vibrancy and contrast. Click here to learn more.
A VAST Print™ represents the pinnacle of the photographic medium. Each print is a true photograph created specifically for you using light-sensitive paper exposed in a darkroom with the industry's highest precision exposure technique. Your print is then sealed with a shine-enhancing protective glossy coating*, adhered to a sturdy aluminum composite backing, and finished in one of two ready-to-hang formats:
- Frameless floating display: A hidden mounting brace on the rear gracefully "floats" the print off the wall for a sleek, modern look.
- Framed display: The print is mounted inside one of our handcrafted 100% wood frames with a decorative separation between the print and the frame so that the print appears to be floating within the frame, providing depth and elegance to the finished photo.
*Note: a non-glossy, satin matte coating is alternatively available on request.
