Over the years, Gifford came to think of this image as his most artistic photograph. He printed it in a wide variety of ways, sometimes cropped at top and bottom, often enlarged, and frequently colored by hand. Later versions were titled Sunset on the Columbia. The setting is on the Washington shore above Miller Island, with the Columbia Hills at right and Mt. Hood in the distance to the west.

The photographs in Wild Beauty were meticulously restored and carefully prepared for print reproduction in order to capture the detail and tonal range of the original images. These beautiful archival inkjet prints are made to order from the restored digital files. Our standard sizes denote the paper size; a small border is left around the image to make framing easier. Custom sizes are easily produced, though, and priced by the square inch; if you would like to inquire about a custom size, please contact us.
