Large Format Landscapes

Thank you very much Martin, it is very kind of you. They have cut most of the trees down around it now (I think so people get a better view) but is was a shame to cut them down so I thought I would put what seems to be the only tree remnant that was left in the area with the photo of the angel.

This is great--a really well balanced composition with a lot of visual interest.

Thank you Jonathan. On a side note - I see you're from Portland. I'll be making my first trip to Portland in a few weeks to visit the coast, CRG and Bend. I'm getting excited.

The coast, the Gorge and Bend (high desert): lots of varied terrain to see and photograph. I'm sure you'll have a great time. Good time of year for it, too. While you risk getting caught in some rain, that also means beautiful spring light and clouds. The irony is you'll probably see more of the state than I have and I've lived here ten years!

I don't think I've posted this previously. The Prince of Wales classic hotel at the end of Waterton Lake, Alberta Canada. Hiked up the hill to the east and shot toward the west, somewhat into the sun unfortunately.

Woooooooow!
Stunning!

Yeah, Johnnygator, I like that one too. Well done.

If you're getting as far south as Klamath Falls, let me know. I can't really suggest the extra travel, though - there is plenty where you plan on going. You would probably be better off going to somewhere like the painted hills section or the John Day Fossil beds if you wanted to do more than what you have planned.

An incredible image.

Thanks for the comment! The painted hills were just recently added to the itenerary. We're hoping to make 2 days out of the bend area and if I recall from memory the painted hills arent too far from Bend.
