Metolius River In Winter

I arrived in the early afternoon on a 15°F day in January to check out the snow along Central Oregon's Metolius River. It was so cold that steam was rising from the river, and so cold that I could only stay out there for 15-20 minutes before my hands were so cold that I couldn't tell if I was pressing the shutter, even with gloves on! But what a glorious day! (The watermark is for copyright protection and will not be on the printed photograph.)

Sunset Over The Central Oregon Cascades

This amazing winter sunset filled Central Oregon's skies and highlighted the skyline of the Oregon Cascades, from Mount Bachelor to the Three Sisters and peaks in between. (The watermark is for copyright protection and will not be on the printed photograph.)

Central Oregon Mountain Magic

Two of the Three Sisters looked so majestic on this afternoon that I couldn't resist pulling over to take a closer look. This is Middle and North Sister, and they were doing a fine job of holding back the clouds that were blowing in from the west, keeping Central Oregon in the clear. Such a beautiful afternoon!
