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.

The Steens Mountains of southeast, Oregon are home to several wild mustangs. Many of them carry the DNA of the Spanish horses brought to the Americas of the 17th century. Today they are protected by the Wild and Free-Roaming Horse and Burro Act.

on January 15, 2023I am so glad that these and most other Mustangs are protected. I find it fascinating that they all still carry the DNA of the original Spanish horses brought to the Americas. This is a fabulous image of this very handsome one, and he looks to be healthy was well.
