DrDane > 5993 Emigrant Valley Sunrise, Ashland, OR - Nov, 2006.  Fields, mountains and clouds are aglow with the light of the rising sun.  The air is cool and fresh, and all is still.  The fields of Corp Ranch are in the foreground.
DrDane > 7424 Snowy Sunset, Ashland, OR - Feb, 2007.  Fresh snow blankets the western shore of Emigrant Lake, with the colors of an exquisite sunset reflefcted in the still water.  The soft silence enhances the beautiful winter scene.
DrDane > 8943 Timeless Passage, Ashland, OR - Dec, 2007.  A lone duck glides silently along  the soft reflections of snowy mountains behind Emigrant Lake.  The reddish volcanic rocks and shoreline stand out in contrast against the soft water, as if the land were floating in space.  This lake lies in the Southern Oregon Cascade Range, about 5 miles from Ashland.
DrDane > 4886 Sunrise Heron & Raindrops, Ashland, OR - Aug, 2006.  Lake, sky and mountains are bathed in the lavender light of a new dawn over Emigrant Lake, as rare gentle summer raindrops leave their signatures on the water's surface.  The image of the Great Blue Heron taking flight was captured a few minutes later and blended into this photo to create the composite.  Because of the slow shutter speed required for the sunrise, it would not be possible to take them both together without blurring the bird beyond recognition.

PLEASE NOTE: This image contains some colors that Smugmug's printer cannot reproduce well. If you'd like to purchase a fine art archival Giclee print from another source(with all the right colors), please email or call me ("Contact Me" link above) and we'll get you set up.
DrDane > 0872 Desert Morning Glory, Alvord Desert from Steens Mountian, OR - Sept, 2007.  The soft glow of morning sunlight filtering through the haze illuminates the steep, rugged eastern slopes of Steens Mountain in eastern Oregon.  Torn fragments of storm clouds soar overhead as they break up over the 9700 ft ridge, but more will soon cover the slopes and drop much needed rain.  The Alvord Desert below receives an average of only six inches of precipitation each year.
DrDane > 9908 Snowy Mtn Dusk, Ashland, OR - Jan, 2008.  Fresh snow blankets the craggy hills east of Emigrant Lake in the Southern Cascades, with soft sunset colors filtering through the cloud layer.  Scattered patches of snow remain in the foreground from this morning's snowfall.  A peaceful stillnes prevails in this magical moment.  This image is a panorama created from 3 pictures stitched together, and will make a beautiful large print (30x40" is the max on this site, though it would print as, and be priced as, a 15.5x40").

Note: to print the full width of this image on whatever paper size you select, choose the "no-crop" option next to the photo, under the "Crop" pull-down menu in the checkout section.
DrDane > 0897 Steen's Mtn Autumn View, OR - Sept, 2007.  Late afternoon sunlight peeks through the clouds on the mountain's gentle western slope at about 8000 ft. elevation in eastern Oregon.  A hardy grove of knarled Mountain Mahogany trees overlook the brilliant Aspen forest below.
DrDane > 0939 Fall Mtn Meadow, Steens Mtn, OR - Sept, 2007.  Early morning sunbems are gleaming through the thick clouds on the mountain's gentle western slope at about 8000 ft. elevation in eastern Oregon.  A colorful Aspen forest borders the meadow on the east side.
DrDane > 8927 Snow Level, Southern Cascades, SE of Ashland, OR - Dec, 2007.  Fresh snow has decorated the lower mountains in the Cascade range, as the snow level dropped to about 2300 feet overnight.  Hardy evergreen trees (Madrones) and shrubs (Manzanita and Buckbrush) cover much of the lower hills, untouched by the snow in contrast to the hills above.  Douglas Fir and leafless White Oaks climb up the steep hilsides, preferring the north-facing slopes (left sides).  This land is currently used for grazing cattle.
