National Creek Falls
If you happen to be in the neighborhood of Crater Lake in Southern Oregon and want to see some nearby waterfalls, there are several to choose from. Perhaps my favorite is National Creek Falls, which has been deserted both times we have visited. For directions see this prior entry.
Brynna Dean of 100 Watt Mind
Nate Hurlocker normally plays the guitar for 100 Watt Mind. On this evening they were missing their bassist so he took over on bass and Brynna Dean played his guitar in addition to performing her normal, stunning vocals.

After Fates Medallion left the stage at Johnny B’s, we were treated with 100 Watt Mind.
Brynna Dean has some amazing pipes. I’ll try to get some more photos of 100 Watt Mind up soon.
I did some more video experimentation. Next gig I’ll have the video nailed.
Last night I headed up to Medford to check out some bands at Johnny B’s. I was planning on arriving at 9:30 or so for Tenguska, but the SOU Raiders basketball game was very exciting so I stayed until the end (a victory over a higher ranked team!). I ended up arriving at Johnny B’s as Tenguska was moving their stuff off the stage after their set.
Next up were Fates Medallion.
I did some experimentation with the audio on my camera by adding an external mic (Sennheiser MKE 400). The audio on the video below came out far better than the internal mic on my Nikon D7000 so I was happy. Even right next to the speaker the sound is pretty good. I set the volume on the external microphone to – and the sensitivity on my D7000 to Low in order to obtain these results. I was so focused on the audio that the visual aspect of this video isn’t great. The lighting was very poor and people were in my way, but things are occasionally in focus. Next time I will be able to focus on the video since I finally have the audio settings down.
Mt. Shasta
This is what Mt. Shasta should look like from Mt. Ashland in early November. In early December of 2010 Mt. Shasta looked like this. However, I took today’s photo less than a week ago. There is very little snow on Mt. Shasta (or Mt. Ashland), and there hasn’t been any new snow since either.
Today’s photo has nothing to do with Ashland, Oregon. I hope you don’t mind that I stray from Ashland every once in a while. Today’s pic is from Amsterdam last summer. For more of my Amsterdam photos click here.
Autumn in Portland, Oregon
Perhaps the best place to check out Christmas light displays in Southern Oregon
We headed up to Medford and Greystone Court on December 30 to check out the holiday light spectacle. It was raining and Christmas was over so it wasn’t very crowded. I hear it was crazy the week before.

Multnomah Falls
We didn’t end our bike ride at Mutnomah Falls, but our week of photos is over so I better get the most famous part of this ride in. Above is the “classic view” of the double-tiered falls, complete with the bridge you can walk on between them.
