Christmas 2011 sunrise from Ashland, Oregon

What a better way to start the new year than with a stellar sunrise? This is actually the sunrise we had on Christmas morning.

Sunset from Grizzly Peak looking north (East Medford and beyond)

Another photo today from my recent dusk hike on Grizzly Peak…

With the sun low in the sky the flowers, and even the ground, really lit up into some amazing colors.

Ashland sunset

Had some interesting clouds the other day so I decided to head over to the other side of the freeway with my camera, new ultra wide-angle lens, and tripod to see what kind of sunset would be offered up. It was a good one!

Sunset facing Medford from the top of Mt. Ashland

The lights in the distance are in Medford. I took this photo from the top of Mt. Ashland in late August. There aren’t many days in the year when you can get to the top of Mt. Ashland in a car (because of snow).

For a reverse view (from Medford during the day), a couple months earlier, check out this pic.

For some, unknown reason our guide never took us to the lake. I think most of the kids didn’t even see Crater Lake on this Crater Lake field trip. I wasn’t going to miss it though. When you have traveled to one of the Top 10 Natural Wonders of the World you may as well look at it.

Crater Lake was in fine form on this day.
