Aerial view of Ashland and Talent, Oregon

Not the finest work I’ve done, today’s photo is from my phone out a dirty airplane window yesterday. That was my first flight in over a year and a half. Felt like finally coming back to life. Now I’m in Copenhagen and quite jet-lagged.

Anyway, back to this photo… Emigrant Lake on the top, some Almeda Fire remains and rebuilding on the bottom left.

Did I jump the gun a month ago? Turns out, no.

Tomorrow I’ll post pics of the All-Americans.
