white salmon, 2

we stayed in white salmon, a small town near the columbia river, in a really nice place we found via Airbnb.
it is the gate house to a slightly larger house, a little studio above a workshop.
the timber cladding of the gate house is reclaimed from an old barn.

the owners also showed us around the larger house (stunning, you can see pictures of it here).
usually they rent out only one of the two buildings, and then live in the other.
they said they had traveled all over the world, but found this to be one of the most beautiful places.
with the sun setting over the mountains, we couldn't disagree.

possibly my favorite light moment of the whole trip:
arriving in white salmon at dusk.
