The 'Bean'

 

We snuck in the park thru an open gate after closing, and had the Bean to ourselves for 15 minutes before a security guard asked us to leave.

our Airbnb had some chickens in the backyard

I rarely ever shoot with roads in my landscape shots but this scene caught my eye as I was on a road trip over to Central Oregon.........

View On Black

Saturday was extremely overcast, a little rainy, windy, and bitter cold. We hadn't caught a glimpse of the sun all day.

 

Still, I didn't want to give up hope of a nice sunset. Minutes before sunset, I turned toward First Encounter Beach "just in case."

 

As we pulled into the parking lot, the sun descended below the clouds and gave us this spectacular view!

There’s a lot of pressure to not only keep up with responsibilities but to keep churning out creative works. Make time for yourself so you can recharge.

Close to the village of Arsha in the Kazbegi region lies the Arsha Waterfall, about five kilometers from Stepantsminda Kazbegi. The hike to the waterfall is considered easy and typically takes three to four hours. The trail is unpaved but well-trodden, surrounded by lush meadows, and offers stunning views of the surrounding mountains. The waterfall is one of the lesser-known natural attractions in the area, contributing to its untouched and serene atmosphere. A bit further along is the Toti Waterfall, accessible via a steep trail that passes above the Arsha Waterfall. This waterfall offers spectacular panoramic views and is an ideal spot for a picnic. Visitors can enjoy the tranquility, the breathtaking nature, and even take a refreshing dip in the crystal-clear water. For adventure seekers, it's possible to continue the hike to the nearby Gergeti Glacier, making the journey a full-day excursion.

 

The journey to the waterfall is a true challenge, yet also a breathtaking experience. The trail winds through rugged, arid terrain with steep inclines and loose rocks. Hikers must be well-prepared, as certain sections can be demanding and exhausting. However, the reward upon arrival is well worth it: a refreshing breeze from the waterfall and a stunning panoramic view. The waterfall in the foreground contrasts strikingly with the dry surroundings, creating a spectacular natural destination. The steep slopes and untouched wilderness highlight both the challenge and the extraordinary beauty of this remote location.

 

Nabij het dorp Arsha in de Kazbek regio, ligt de Arsha-waterval, op ongeveer vijf kilometer van Stepantsminda Kazbegi. De wandeling naar de waterval wordt als eenvoudig beschouwd en duurt doorgaans drie tot vier uur. Het pad is ongebaand maar goed begaanbaar, omringd door weelderige weiden en biedt prachtige uitzichten op de omliggende bergen. De waterval is ƩƩn van de minder bekende natuurlijke attracties in het gebied, wat bijdraagt aan de ongerepte en serene sfeer. De waterval op de achtergrond contrasteert met het dorre terrein en vormt een prachtig natuurlijk doel. Nog iets verder ligt de Toti-waterval, bereikbaar via een steil pad dat bovenlangs de Arsha-waterval loopt. Deze waterval biedt spectaculaire panoramische uitzichten en is een ideale plek voor een picknick. Bezoekers kunnen hier genieten van de rust, de natuur en zelfs een verfrissende duik nemen in het heldere water. Voor avonturiers is het mogelijk om verder te trekken naar de nabijgelegen Gergeti-gletsjer, wat de wandeling tot een dagvullende activiteit maakt.

Little High Falls, also known as Potts Falls, with High Falls in the background

Spirit of the rising sun, lift me up

Hold me there and never let me fall

Love me 'til I die, my heart won't wait

Soon I will be loved...

 

Sun shine on me

Bring it through to my heart

I would give you everything

I will give you my desire

My family and friends always ask how I can choose sunrise over sleep. The energy of the rising sun is contagious. Nothing makes one feel more alive than the rising sun. I choose an extra two hours of life over sleep!

This one is to represent my week-we took an unplanned weekend get away(just because we finally had some down time-before all the madness of the school year continues). My first time visiting the ocean during winter-and there ended up being a huge snow storm that had roads along the beach closed.
