The Oracle of the Columbia

Edits to the rescue. This started out as an abominable shot from the cell phone as we drove along the Columbia river gorge last weekend. Never underestimate the power of an edit :-)

@jgpittenger Grateful, thank you. I played around with polar inversion in ( https://www.getpaint.net ). It is under the distort tab then I added a bit of contrast in Photoshop. The original image is a ugly but with a little cropping (cropped out the railing along the side of the road) and some luck from the edit deities, I got lucky :-)
