7-photo photomerge panorama of Ashland, Oregon

Before heading down the hill to work last Monday morning I climbed out a window and up to the top of my roof to capture this image.

For the details, click on the image a time or two.

Last week I posted a photo from the edge of Lake of the Woods. This was from a walk I took last weekend in snow shoes.

Today’s photo is from the middle of the lake after I ventured out past the shadows. In the shadows there was snow on the ice, and things felt more solid. I probably could have kept going straight across to my car near the lodge in the distance, but as the ice became more transparent I figured my adrenaline levels were high enough so I turned back at this point and walked around instead.

Before this week’s warm temperatures melt things around here, I headed up to the Greensprings last Friday for this photo of the (then frozen) pond off Highway 66 near Pinehurst Elementary School.

Last week we were treated to a spectacular morning view. I headed out to the lower level of our roof to get this photo. I wanted to head up to the upper level for a better panorama of the sunrise with the fog filling the valley below, but the roof was covered in ice. I couldn’t move without falling so I had to settle for this.

Today’s photo is from this morning. The whole town was in shadow, but Grizzly Peak was glowing.

Winter term on the SOU campus begins today.

The building on the left is Computing Services. On the far right is the Hannon Library. Central Hall is also partially visible behind the trees.

For best results (as always), click on the image, and view it on a large monitor.

We will start Christmas with 80+ degree temps in Sayulita, Mexico (where we are now). By the end of the day we’ll be back in Ashland where the temperature will likely be in the 20s, and snow may be on the ground. Today’s photo is from last week just after the prior weekend’s snowfall began to melt at the lower elevations.
