Ashland, Oregon (November 20, 2025)
Just over a week ago, the skies were looking good, and the fall colors weren’t completely gone, so I headed over the freeway for this view of Ashland, hoping to see the fresh snow on Mt. Ashland as well. Unfortunately, Mt. Ashland was obscured by clouds, but the rest looked pretty good for this late in autumn.

I did this drive just a few days ago, but this photo is from this month last year. I think things were even greener this year, but the sky wasn’t quite as dramatic. This photo was taken less than an hour south of Ashland.

Between Hilt and Yreka in the most northern area of Northern California (less than 20 miles from the Oregon border and about 30 miles from Ashland) you can find this exit heading south on I-5.

Last week’s controlled burn in the Ashland watershed was more aggressive than normal. Maybe the winds weren’t anticipated or they are running out of time before the real fire season begins.
Ashland had a great sky yesterday. The autumn colors are just beginning. No snow on Mt. Ashland yet, and the forecast shows 80s for the next couple weeks so no snow on Mount A in the near future.

I tried something a little different for today’s photo. I wanted to do a photomerge of I-5 with Ashland in the background with a twist. Normally, I photomerge by taking a series of photos starting with the left and moving right and then stitch them together in Photoshop. However, with most of the traffic coming from the right (heading south) I thought, “what if I find an interesting vehicle and capture it in several of the images?” When I saw the yellow school bus coming I started firing away from right to left. Hence it (and the cars right next to it) show up multiple times in the final photomerged panorama.
