Central and Eastern Oregon
The wild landscape of Central and Eastern Oregon runs deep with history and diversity.
To the north, the mighty Columbia River meanders her way through 4,000 ft canyons. In 1986 it was signed into law as a National Scenic Area. In the central part of the state, lies the high desert and scenic Three Sisters Wilderness, Ochoco and Deschutes Mountains. To the south are the Steens Mountains. They too, have stunning carved gorges, wild rivers and are home to an abundance of wildlife. It is some of the most rugged and remote land still left in Oregon. My adrenaline continues to be fueled by adventure and exploring new places of historical significance that shaped the landscape. This gallery takes me back into our forgotten past of what we did, or didn't do to build our future.

These 328 ft GE Wind Turbines are much taller and more efficient than the windmill next to this old homestead. Each one can produce about 402,000 kWh per month which is enough power for over 460 homes.

on October 25, 2021I love the juxtaposition between old and new. This is a wonderful image to have the sad farmhouse in front and the new modern Wind Turbines in the background. Outstanding composition!
