Lake of the Woods, Southern Oregon
Another photo from the archives today… This one is from June of 2009. I took this picture (with my LX3) just before taking the one featured here.

From the east side of Ashland
Ashland Springs Hotel and Ashland, Oregon from the base of Grizzly Peak
I took today’s photo back in mid-June. Alas, things are browner now. The location I took this picture from was the same as this prior blog entry.
The Ashland Springs Hotel is in the distance on the right. Empty box cars can be seen on the train tracks that cut through town (even though trains coming through are extremely rare these days).
Mt. Hood from the air
Mt. Hood from an airplane
On my way back to Ashland from Europe on Sunday the plane spent very little time over water. We went over Greenland, Canada, and didn’t enter U.S. airspace until the state of Washington. We came south from there to land in Portland. This was the view of Mt. Hood shortly before landing. I think the water you see in this photo is the Columbia River.
Unfortunately, I didn’t have a window seat on the flight from Portland to Medford.
Home again; jet lagged again
Ashland before 5 a.m. with the shutter open for 30 seconds
I’m back in Ashland after five and a half weeks in (mostly) Scandinavia. In my first two mornings I haven’t been able to make it past 4 a.m. Maybe tomorrow…
This photo, BTW, shows things as being much lighter outside than they really are. This picture isn’t the first time I’ve found myself jet lagged and taking a shot like this.
Ashland Creek from the road
The last time I showed you this scene was from right down by the water’s edge in a vertical shot. This landscape-orientation photo I took from the road that runs through Lithia Park.
Ashland Vineyard
Vineyards (and wineries) aren’t exactly new to the region, but there seem to be a lot more now than when we moved to the Rogue Valley 11 years ago. In the distance, you can see Pilot Rock in this photo to the right. The east side of the valley (which is what is in this picture) has a number of bluffs as you can see.
Denmark’s tribute to Norway
Placing half-mast Danish flags on Christiansborg Palace
I have been in Scandinavia the past month, spending most of my time in Copenhagen but also visiting Sweden and Norway. I was in Oslo just five days before Friday’s tragedy. Now I’m back in Copenhagen, where I witnessed the placing of these half-mast Denmark flags on the Christiansborg Palace tower yesterday to memorialize those lives lost in Norway the day before.
Frau Kemmling Schoolhaus Brewhaus
The interior of the aforementioned Frau Kemmling Schoolhaus in Jacksonville is nice, nicer still when it is full of people having a good time. The books on the wall are leftovers from when this was the Jacksonville School House on Bigham’s Knoll.
Schoolhaus Brewhaus
My German skills are weak, to say the least, but I’m pretty sure the sign reads Schoolhouse Brewery. This is the fairly new home of a German restaurant in Jacksonville, Frau Kemmling Schoolhaus. The building was previously a school; now the upper two floor are an unrelated business with a brewery/restaurant on the bottom floor. I had lunch at Frau Kemmling Schoolhaus for the first time recently and the food and beer were both excellent.
Oregon Capitol Building
The Ellies again… this time heading into the capitol in their page attire.
