This shot could have been really good had I been on the roof in the lower left corner instead of behind it. I took this from Glenview Drive, near the corner where it meets Hillcrest and Vista, looking north. You can see the Ashland Springs Hotel and the Ashland Elks Lodge, built 101 years ago, in this photo.
I hope this house in Ashland doesn’t rely solely on its solar panels for energy as the cells haven’t been generating much lately.
On New Year’s Day I climbed up on the roof to enjoy a 360 degree panorama of the mountains surrounding town. This was the view to the northeast. Grizzly Peak is snow capped for much of the winter.
We were planning on arriving home, after nine days in Utah, last night. Snow had other plans for us. We hit a storm just past Susanville, California and ended up getting a room in Mt. Shasta instead.
This morning we headed out of Mt. Shasta on I-5 going north. We were delayed about an hour by chain requirements at the Siskyou Summit on the California/Oregon border.
When we finally arrived back in Ashland, more than 12 hours later than planned, we found our property hadn’t been deserted after all. A family of deer had taken up residence on our back lawn and have not budged even though several hours have passed.
Southside Tattoo is located in the spot of what was a chocolate shop called Silly Rabbit Chocolate Co.
Ellie had her first flute lesson at night last week. I didn’t have my better night camera (LX3) with me, but this photo came out OK anyway. For a similar view during the day see this prior blog entry.
The Ashland Springs Hotel (to the right) is shining brightest. I’ll post a close up and more detailed version of it from this same location in the next few days.
The streaks in the lower left portion of this picture are the drivers on I-5. I left the shutter open for 8 seconds and bumped the ISO up to 400.
After dropping my daughter off at school last week, on a very foggy morning, I captured these wild geese in front of the barn near Ashland Middle School. For the same view, on a much clearer day and panned back a bit, see this photo.
I took this photo of the Ashland Library the other night as I was getting gas on a rainy evening. I really need to get a tripod for Christmas to improve my night photography. Santa, are you listening?
There is a wreath hanging in each of the windows of the library this time of year.
The view from inside the library is really good. I should take a photo from the inside one of these days.
There was no school today, not because it snowed but because the campus is closed this week for Thanksgiving. I went in anyway. Nobody was there. No footprints in the snow on a college campus is an unusual sight. So peaceful…
Today’s photo is from the same basic location (with camera pointed a bit more to the right today) as this prior picture. I was on the steps of Central Hall.
Long before the Ashland Loop Road becomes deserted and looks like this, you can look back over your right shoulder for this view, one of your last glimpses of civilization.
