A beautiful drive along the back roads to Keating Oregon
Enjoyed a beautiful drive to Keating Oregon to visit Copper Belt Winery in Baker County.
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. Be prepared to get your feet wet wading through a few mountain streams on your way there! See more detailed descriptions here: www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.599289883456558.1073741...

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 festivities surrounding a Kenduri Sko festival in the village of Koto Renah, Kerinci, Sumatra, Indonesia. Close to midnight, villagers in the community of Koto Renah, Sungai Penuh, Kerinci gather to perform a dance in honor of their ancestors. During the dance, commonly performed throughout Kerinci during Kenduri Sko events, possession by ancestral spirits is common (sometimes taking the form of an ancestral tiger). On this night, cycles of dancing, singing, possession, and exorcism by the local "dukun" or shaman continued until 4 am.

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

The Niners won a nailbiter battle against the Falcons tonight. While I was listening to it on KNBR radio (680 AM), it was filled with emotions. The ups and downs of many seasons. The highs of almost winning to the lows of, "did i really hear the offside kick work?"
The story here was that I couldn't really get close to CandleStick. SFPD blocked off the road, so I had to settle for some other shots.
This shot will never be created again. This was shot on highway 101 with the roads being closed off to the exit sign of Candlestick, while the lights and Monday night football brighten up the stadium.
Though I never went to a baseball, or a football or any live event, I felt a little bit of the Bay Area vibe tonight.

Brightly patterned butterflies flew around this park freely. This particular one was very bold, kept flying near me, and landed very close by and wiggled its antennae, as if studying me. I am watching it, fascinated.
