Not sure what the name of this lighthouse is, but it sits out in the Pacific Ocean when looking out from the coast just a few miles South of Ruby Beach. Awesome colours in the sky tonight after sunset...

Crater Lake Preview

A quick taster of what is coming tomorrow once I catch up on my sleep, what a day...

Left Friday evening just before midnight, drove 5hrs to get to Crater Lake for 4.35am, caught sunrise just before 6am, spent the day shooting hundreds of pics in sunny 30°C weather and finished it off with a stunning sunset over the cascade mountain range...only downside is the 20+ mosquito bites I acquired :D

After being on the go for the last 28.5hrs it's time for some well earned rest, and stay tuned for more from Crater Lake once I surface on Sunday...

Devastated Valley Floor

It's not until you're standing over the top of the valley floor that you get a clear picture of just how much power and force the eruption had in 1980, everything you see before you was lush forest area and now 31 years later it's only starting to get patches of green appearing again.

Pathway Through Mars

The painted cove which is part of the painted hills section of the John Day National Park is located around 10 miles North West of the town of Mitchell in Central Oregon.

If you find yourself in the area it's definitely worth a visit, and not only because it gives you the feeling that you're walking through the surface of somewhere like the planet Mars.

Surreal in many ways, and amazing in others, stunning, stunning place!

Since arriving on Mars it soon became clear that there were still choices to be made...

(The landscape at the painted Cove was just screaming for something like this to be done)
