Mt. Shasta
23 km from Mount Shasta
After 10 hours of driving we rounded the last bend through the dense forests on the Washington-Oregon border. Suddenly Mt. Shasta appeared in front of us in all her glory, towering above the surrounding hills. The evening light cut low through the smoky air to create soft gradients and reduce the contrast or the lower mountain and foothills.

We were looking for a new route through Oregon to Portland from California that would not involve I-5. We left I-5 at Mount Shasta and headed toward the South Klamath basin. We were looking for migrating birds (and there were thousands), but as it was late, the light made it difficult for bird photography. But then we saw Mt. Shasta.........................the light was phenomenal! This is the result. The route from Mount Shasta, to the Klamath Basin , Crater Lake, Bend and Smith Rock is well worth the extra time it takes!

We caught one of the most incredible sunsets I’ve EVER taken in on this beautiful summer night. We ran quickly ran onto this bridge to catch the last glimpses of the sun as it went down. I saw Adrian leaning over the edge, staring into the beauty before him, and knew that I would fall in love with the photo. Boy, am I ever glad that I pressed the shutter when I did!

Quite possibly the clearest lake I’ve ever swam in. I could open my eyes and see 40ft down to the bottom.

I was traveling from Los Angeles to Portland solo for a work show. I had never drove past the northern California boarder and was excited to be able to make the journey all the way up. I took the long route, I-5 didn’t make the cut. Two lane highways, no rush, nothing but me and the drive. I decided to detour even further north-east than planned just to see what was the deal with Crater Lake, probably one of my best moves on that trip. I had got there around 9am and was able to see shades of blue I had never witnessed in nature before.

We spent our honeymoon driving the California coast. This was one of our first stops at the Lady Bird Johnson redwood park. The day started with fog, and the lighting was amazing (this was around 1:00 pm). It fell perfectly on this bridge.
