Big Horn Sheep in Burnt River Canyon in Baker County
A beautiful Fall day exploring the Burnt River Canyon and watching wildlife between Durkee and Unity in Baker County Oregon .
The Burnt River Canyon near Durkee is always one of our favorite drives for taking in the majestic scenery of Eastern Oregon and watching wildlife along the way. Saw lots of wildlife this trip as colder temperatures have pushed lots of deer down into the canyon. We were excited to spot a few Bighorn Sheep in rut during this trip

A hidden gem off the main road. As I was turning around on some back street to go back and shoot an old grocery store, we looked up a hill and caught a glimpse of this wonderful building. It's not visible from the main highway through town.
Construction of the building was finished in June of 1911. The final cost, art glass dome included, added up to $132,000. The Courthouse has undergone only minor remodeling during its history and essentially remains unchanged from the day it was built. The one exception was the cleaning and restoration of the art glass dome. Seventy years of accumulated dust and deteriorating soldering were finally ordered repaired in the spring of 1980. The price tag was $144,700, nearly $13,000 more than the cost of constructing the whole building in 1910.

The group was hurrying straight towards the dock on the other end of this island where the next boat was waiting.
The green light shining through the bamboo was alluring, so I hurried off up the mountain, into the bamboo forest, away from the crowd. And discovered this old temple, which had apparently been closed down for a long time. The place had something to it. The voices of the tourist horde had long since disappeared into the distance, and the only sound was that of the wind rustling through the bamboo and sun-dried leaves slowly tumbling to the ground in this searing, humid environment.
A special place, well chosen by the monks - I´m glad that I undertook this excursion on an impulse.

Mt. Kunyit is an active volcano in the Kerinci Seblat National Park, Sumatra, Indonesia. The trek to the crater takes about six hours, and passes through beautiful cloud forests and beside fumrole volcanic vents. In the middle of the crater lies a bubbling hotspring, and what locals call "Taman Dewa" or "The Garden of the Gods." It has a spiritual, mythical place in local folklore, and is the site where local hero Depati Parbo meditated to supposedly gain invulnerability to Dutch bullets during the war for Kerinci.

The Hiro Coffee Farm in Okinawa, Japan. Great coffee, music, incense, and, above all, hospitality! Order a pot of coffee, a plate of toast and sit back and enjoy! Well worth the trip.
The Pendung Semurup waterfalls, approximately 15-20 meters in height, can be found on the eastern hills near the town of Semurup, and are reached after an easy, roughly one hour hike through relatively flat farmland and agroforest.

Went to see a lovely 1 bedroom with Martín today. The view of the downtown skyline was ridiculous, and a decently nice building. Was very easy (too easy) to see us living there, drinking wine on the balcony, on a nice summer eve with friends.
