A landscape photographer's tour

Keith's travels in the Pacific Northwest - September-October 2007

Heading inland from Bandon we stop off at Crater lake in the snow. then northwards to Bend.

This photo-diary covers some of my travel photography from a driving trip starting at Seattle, Washington in September/October 2007. It's a great place for a vacation, or just a road trip along the Pacific coast to photograph some of the scenery. If you've any questions about the hotels/inns/motels where I stayed, then please do feel free to drop me a line.

What's the Washington weather like? What's the Oregon weather like? National Weather Service radar (Pacific Northwest) What are the roads like?

From Bandon on the coast to Bend, via Crater lake

Crossing the coastal range, here's another nice bridge

A river in the Cascades

and a roadside view of another river - the colours are quite pronounced, although the damp overcast weather doesn't do much for them

A bit of sun works a treat though

Near the shot above there was this -wooden- pipe for transporting water to a hydroelectric scheme

Note the leak - I used it to clean the car (well, at least one side of it)

The pipe is made from redwood planking, with a lot of steel banding added.

On the way to Crater lake there were the first signs of some snow at altitude

The pummice desert lost some of its interest, when covered with snow

All kinds of people were out for the day.

The dog has its own (heated) bag on the back of the bike to travel in

Here's Karen ( right) taking a picture of a snowman

The cloud cleared for a short while, giving this view of the lake and Wizard Island

Note the rainbow (it's for real!)

Meanwhile a lot of visitors congregated at Rim Village...

Afterward we made for Bend - no more pics since it had been a long drive...

We also decided not to wait up and visit the grill and sports pub next to our motel in Bend.
