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.

This is a common scene during the summer months on the Zumwalt. I found this Swainson's Hawk next to the side of the road feeding on a ground squirrel. This vast prairie is home to one of the largest concentrations of hawks in North America.

on May 23, 2014This is a great portrait. It has field marks of a Swainson's Hawk rather than a Red-tail. Is that possible/likely where you were??
