View from Castle Lake Trail

More than three years ago I posted a photo on my other blog showing Castle Lake from near the parking lot. Today’s photo is from the other direction looking back toward where I took that previous pic. The season is a bit different as well. Today’s photograph is from August. The other was from late spring. If you were to stand in this spot right now (December) you would be in several feet of snow, the lake wouldn’t have any people in it (if you click on the photo for a larger view you can see several kayaks), and Mt. Shasta would be completely white with snow.

Today’s photo was from yesterday’s Standford-University of Oregon women’s volleyball match in Eugene. Stanford won in three straight sets and will retain their #1 ranking. The Ducks, with their loss to California on Friday night as well, will likely fall in the standings from their #2 perch.

Watching all of the images of New York on the news during and after Hurricane Sandy brought back memories of the rain, thunder, and lightning that we experienced there this past summer. However, that storm was nothing compared to Sandy.

I took today’s photo on Times Square in the rain.

Born a mere seven days after I was, Death Angel’s main man continues to write fantastic music. The first time I saw Death Angel live was just over 25 years ago. Looking forward to another 25 years of Death Angel…
