A blazing sun over SOU's soon-to-be graduates as the students line up and prepare to enter Raider Stadium
Southern Oregon University graduates file into their seats
Emile Amarotico, representing the SOU Alumni Association, welcomes Southern Oregon University grads into the fold
Tomorrow is the big day–Southern Oregon University’s annual commencement. I’ll post photos from the 2012 graduation ceremony on the blog beginning tomorrow afternoon.
Today’s photo is of about 250-300 degrees worth of landscape. This picture is a photomerge from this past Saturday at our school (SOU), year-end party. I took about 11 photos to make up this panorama. Unfortunately, I took them horizontally (and I should have taken them vertically to get in more sky/ground) which meant that in order to crop them into a proper, rectangular pic I’d have to crop out the sun. Instead I just left the photomerged version as is without a crop.
As this photo was taken from the south side of Ashland, you can’t see Mt. Ashland (the Siskiyous are in the way) or many of the other items you normally see in my panoramas taken from the east side of Ashland like the Ashland Springs Hotel, etc. You can see Pilot Rock to the left if you click on the photo for a much higher resolution version.
Southern Oregon University Prom Dress Rugby Game
Following in the traditions of generations of mothers and grandmothers, the SOU Women’s Rugby team put on their finest prom dresses and headed out to the rugby pitch this past Saturday afternoon. It was supposed to be a friendly game, but the sounds coming from the field and the hits being applied seemed far from civil.
Next week I will be in New York, so while I’m gone I think I will pre-blog a week’s worth of photos from the prom dress rugby event to keep you entertained in my absence.

Ashland High School graduation ceremony 2012
I said I wasn’t going to AHS’s graduation ceremony, but I ended up taking my daughter to Lithia Park for the last few minutes after all.
Today’s photo is of the Ashland High School gym with the sun coming up from behind. I posted a pic of the high school today because tonight (6:15 start time) is the graduation ceremony in Lithia Park. I won’t be attending tonight’s ceremony, but I will be at two of the next four graduations as my kids will be walking with the classes of 2014 and 2016.
Benjamin of Dirty Kid Discount
Next up after Brynna Dean at the Tap House on Monday evening was Dirty Kid Discount, a three-piece on this evening that sometimes has as many as six members.
Last night at Caldera Tap House in Ashland there were a few acts playing. The first was Brynna Dean of 100 Watt Mind singing and playing her Gibson SG Guitar. (Ryan recently purchased an SG.)
