EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the haunting beauty of an old fish shack on a riverbank, once the bustling site of Celilo Falls. This historic location was renowned for its abundant giant chinook salmon and served as the oldest continuously inhabited community on the North American continent until 1957. Sadly, progress took its toll when The Dalles Dam was constructed, submerging Celilo Falls and nearby settlements. Today, only a few fish shacks remain as silent witnesses to this bygone era. The image portrays a sense of absence and decline, with deteriorating wood material and signs of damage evident throughout. Nature has begun to reclaim this ghost town, as bushes grow wild around the abandoned structure while grass carpets the surrounding riverbank. The photograph's horizontal composition allows viewers to appreciate both the decaying building exterior and the vastness of the landscape beyond. A cloudy sky adds an air of melancholy to this scene from history. As we gaze upon this color image, we are reminded of how progress can sometimes come at a great cost – erasing communities that were once vibrant hubs of life. Through photography like GeoStock's work here, we have an opportunity to reflect on our past and honor those who came before us in their connection with nature and their ability to sustain themselves from it.
