Crater Lake clear

This isn’t the normal, “postcard” shot of Crater Lake, but sometimes you miss the trees for the forest when you look at Crater Lake only as a whole. The details are quite lovely as well as the big picture.

Wild & Scenic Rogue River campsite

#mynwrcphoto @NWRafting

My lack of posts this past week was due to a trip we took down the Rogue River which took us completely off the grid until now. Today’s photo is of our campsite on the first night. I’ll be posting more photos from our adventures over the next month or two here and here.

Woodlands Golf Course (Sunriver, Oregon) with Mt. Bachelor

Yesterday we rode our bikes for 10+ miles. Included along the way was the Deschutes River and this view of Mt. Bachelor from the Woodlands Golf Course.

Burney Falls (California)

We’ve been up and down Highway 89 probably close to a dozen times over the past 15 years. However, we’ve always been in too much of a hurry to stop and check out Burney Falls. What a mistake! We should have made time. Yesterday was the first time we took the time to stop. It didn’t take long, and the beauty of the this place is incredible.

Shosenkyo near Kofu, Japan

Kakuenbo (覚円峰) is the normal “face” of Shosenkyo, but the rocks in today’s photo have a similar appearance, even from this different angle. Maybe this is the backside of Kakuenbo; I’m not sure.

When I took this photo I had just come from more than a month of looking at and hiking through somewhat similar rocks in the mountains above Gwangju in South Korea.

BTW, I took today’s photo from a place called Yasaburotake (弥三郎岳), a giant rock you can get to easily from the top of the Shosenkyo Ropeway (昇仙峡ロープウェイ). Most people doing the ropeway are heading to this spot so just follow the Japanese people.
