From our last night in Oregon. I was hoping for a great sunset but the early evening was filled with a drizzle. But the sky did open briefly and had some pinks and purples so I focused on instead on capturing the reflection. I couldn't decide which composition I liked best so I am posting them all. Ha!
This is the view between Haystacks (left) and Fleetwith Pike (right), taken on the way down from Haystacks.
At 597m, Haystacks is:
* 6-times as tall as Liverpool's Anglican Cathedral,
* almost 4-times as tall as Blackpool Tower,
* almost twice as tall as the Eiffel Tower in Paris,
* 1.33 times the height of the Empire State Building spire
Visible up ahead are Buttermere and Crummock Water.
It's really difficult to appreciate the sheer enormity of the fells (for a non-climber like me) so there's some things in the image to help put the scale in context.
Can you spot the mountaineering team and their jeeps?
On the Rocky Mountain Front stands Haystack Butte. Mr. Lewis of Lewis and Clark Expedition fame passed this way in 1806. I passed this way on 25 November 2009 on my DL650 VSTROM motorcycle.
Montana.
Took these shots on my birthday weekend getaway with the wifey. We were getting lots of rain and hail throughout the day, but it cleared up enough to take some shots. I didn't get an awesome sunset but overall I'm happy with what I got.

A giant haystack standing on Dartmoor. That is a plastic pterodactyl on top. Since dismantled by the landowner,
Returned to Oregon for 11 days in July. First time back in the PNW in 6 years. And again I don't understand why I continue to live in the midwest. Here are a few captures from our time in Cannon Beach.
Tire tracks are from the red vehicle that brings Friends of Haystack Rock volunteers when tide's out and dozens (at this time of year, many more in the summer I'm sure) of visitors come to peer into the tide pools, gaze at the rock up-close-and-personal, and bird-watch. Flora and fauna exposed by low tide are extremely delicate and the volunteers not only answer questions (like mine: have the puffins left already? answer: you missed them by about two weeks. Story of my life) but to assure the welfare of the fascinating organisms living above, on, and below the Rock.
