Description This is a photo I captured during an early morning photo jaunt at my dad's house in Oregon, in 2004. I had looked at this photo a number of times, but it wasn't until recently that I really took a good look at it and realized how much I love it. This photo has many of my favorite elements about Oregon, and makes me feel a little home sick...

Thank you very much Leslie!

Where in Oregon are you from? I am from McMinnville... I miss Oregon a lot.. I have to make a trip at least once a year to get my fix or I go crazy here.. I need mountains and huge pine trees in my view!

ButterflyLady In reply to vividlilac [2006-02-05 21:21:11 +0000 UTC]

actually i am from vancouver, wa/portland area. i lived back and forth between the two states. i miss it a lot! i miss the beauty and the culture. but i just couldn't handle the weather anymore. so i do the same thing, i make a trip out there once a year....usually in the summer so i can escape from the heat of the desert.

vividlilac In reply to ButterflyLady [2006-02-08 22:10:20 +0000 UTC]

That is a nice area... I really like Portland, and the whole vibe of the NW... I don't mind the weather, I even miss it a lot of the time.

At least you still have mountains nearby.. in Florida there are none, unless you count the huge garbage dumps

Have you been to the Poker Run or Daytona Bike Week?

Sure that the clouds looks awesome! I think that the grey colors show us the contrast of the elements! It's a super shot you did *o* ^o^

One very impressive picture.

A fine example of how the rule of thirds, used loosely, can give impressive results. The atmospheric feel of the picture is stuning, the eye is taken in a diagonal direction by the sweep of the clouds and then, drops down with the sunrays on the beautifull landscape.

Excellent.
