Hiding Reality
Oregon
Has this been done?
As I’m trying to compile twelve images for a 2023 calendar that I want to offer, I find myself rather paralyzed by the backlog of photos that I’ve yet to evaluate, from the two big destinations of 2022: Death Valley, which we visited twice in February, and the Pacific Northwest and Northern California.
Nine Forests, Ten Photos
Our September/October road trip was, among other things, a tour of many forests. Needless to say: the number of photos that I made is absolutely overwhelming. We’ve seen so, so many beautiful places that it is hard to find a starting point. So for this post, I decided to make a one-of-each compilation from all the forests that we visited.
The Shadow of Reality
“As long as you seek for something, you will get the shadow of reality and not reality itself.” (Shunryū Suzuki)
Crater Lake National Park, Oregon
Some photographic impressions from our visit to Crater Lake National Park in Oregon – it was a spontaneous decision to visit after our road trip sort of concluded at Crescent City in Northern California.
