I’m dreaming…
Snow covered house decorated for Christmas in Ashland, Oregon
… of a white Christmas …
Hyatt Regency San Francisco Christmas decorations
Hyatt Regency San Francisco atrium from above during the holidays
A few nights ago we watched The Towering Inferno for the first time, primarily because we had visited the Hyatt Regency in San Francisco last month where part of the movie was filmed.
The giant sculpture in the center of the enormous atrium of the Hyatt Regency is called Eclipse (to the right of center in the above photo) and can be seen in The Towering Inferno movie as well since the movie was made (or at least released) in 1974 and Eclipse was installed in 1973.

Melissa Sweat of the SOU Women’s Basketball Team
Southern Oregon beat Concordia in women’s basketball last night (an away game for the Raiders so today’s photo is actually from last weeks’ game against College of Idaho). Melissa Sweat scored 28 points to bring her average up to about 20 points a game. The Raiders play at Warner Pacific today in a few hours.

I took a walk the other night around downtown Ashland during the blue hour with my tripod and my ultra wide lens.

Later today I’m going to be photographing some of Jolene’s sticky buns, but I’ll leave you with these cookies for now. Santa will be very pleased with these cookies and some milk so place your order soon.
Another Ashland panorama
Ashland, Oregon panorama
Last week the mountains around Ashland were dusted with snow. Some funky clouds rolled in, and then some blue sky poked through. I decided to head up to the roof to see how much of the detail I could capture.
I had my Nikkor 70-300mm lens on my Nikon D600. At 70mm I turned the camera vertical, and took a series of 8 photos at 1/800, f/10, ISO-200. I then photomerged them together for the above result. If you have a big screen, click on the image once or twice for the larger view. You can see lots of detail and landmarks on the biggest version including (from the left) Mountain Meadows, Grizzly Peak, and Pompadour Bluff.
Christmas Cards
If you are looking for distinctive, high-quality, and a bit unusual Christmas (or other Greeting) cards, an Ashland friend of mine has just taken her art online and put it into card format. Check out Melissa Markell’s Gazania Greeting Cards.
