Today’s photo was taken in Beatty, Oregon about 3 hours before the winter solstice.
According to Flickr “favorites” these were my top five (non-sports) photos of 2016 from Southern Oregon. Not all of the photos were taken in 2016; rather, these are the photos most “favorited” in 2016.

The wind was whipping through Ashland when I took this photo about 10 days ago from a friend’s house. Pilot Rock was playing peek-a-boo as the clouds quickly moved by. I had to wait a few seconds for Pilot Rock to be this visible.
We traditionally take a walk on the White Rabbit Trail in the Ashland watershed on Thanksgiving. However, our walking partner was out of the country yesterday so we opted for Hobart Bluff instead. The trail, itself, wasn’t in great shape as it was muddy or slick with snow or ice, but the view at the end was worth it.
