You wouldn’t know it from all of the vineyards that have sprung up in California and Oregon over the past decade, but we are supposedly in the middle of a wine shortage that will only become worse in the future.

Today’s photo is from June of 2011.

Snowshoeing on Mt. Ashland

Thinks are heating up around Ashland so I’m sharing a blast from the coldness of this past winter today.

(Actually, I have no idea if things are heating up in Ashland, but they should be this time of year. I created this post weeks ago, and am now in Japan so I don’t know what the weather is like in Ashland. This post has been preset to post on June 22. Hopefully it does, and hopefully I’m having a blast on my way to Korea.)

Mt. Shasta from Mt. Ashland with fresh snow

I posted a photo of this tree before. Today’s version features a different angle and some fresh snow.

Today’s pic is from this past weekend when I did some snowshoeing on Mt. Ashland. I took 7 vertical photos and put them together to come up with this one horizontal one. Doing such makes Mt. Shasta (to the left of center between the trees) and the rocks on my right look much smaller than they actually looked at the time. I’ll post individual photos of what Shasta and the rocks really looked like in a later entry.

This past weekend we headed up Mt. A to do a little snowshoeing. The sky was ridiculously blue, and the temperatures were in the 50s (even though down below in Ashland the temps were barely 40 degrees). We had ourselves a weather inversion (which has since departed).

Pre-eclipse Ashland panorama

Ashland, Oregon panorama

Before last Sunday’s eclipse, I scouted out various locations for photo taking. I like this particular place for landscapes, but the view wouldn’t have looked much different during a solar eclipse so I took this photo* and moved on to ScienceWorks for the eclipse party instead.

You will see a lot more detail if you have a widescreen computer monitor, maximize your window, and then click on the image. To capture as much detail as possible (and not miss out on the amazing clouds) *I shot about 8 or 10 images vertically at 24mm (36mm equivalent as I have a crop sensor) and then photomerged them together for this very horizontal panorama.

From left to right, you can see Pilot Rock, Mt. Ashland, and Wagner Butte. This panorama covers nearly 180 degrees and pretty much all of the Siskiyou Mountain Range viewable from Ashland.

It’s now May so the temperatures are a bit warmer on average, but that doesn’t mean we’ve seen the last of the snow or that there isn’t still a lot of snow on Mt. Ashland. In fact, there is more snow up on Mount A now (and the ski season ended on April 22) than when I took today’s photo back in January, when there was such a lack of snow on Mt. Ashland the slopes were not open for skiing. For the photo just after this one click here.
