Where is that Winter?

Two weeks into December and yet to have freezing temps in NC or Virginia. Don’t know about other states but here it is not promising to be anything like we see in this photo. Of course it never gets here like in this photo, but at least we need to have some type of winter signals from mother nature.

Timberline Lodge was fully covered with snow from the north side, very cool view that we rarely see anywhere on the East Coast (well maybe in North East). I stayed there overnight and would love to stay there again. See my view from the window next.

I stayed in the tiny little room, almost like a closet, it was big enough for a bunk bed and just a little space to stand. Bathrooms and showers are common in the hall. But it was just enough for me to sleep over and catch some nice snowboarding and take some photos. My room was on the south side and was totally covered with snow. It was really cool, I think it was first for me to stay at a place that was fully covered with snow.

Friday Mystery Photo

Easy one today for our world travelers and bridge aficionados. If you been to this place or saw other photos then you are more likely know where it is. This was a nice, somewhat humid evening in this great city, a few hours later it started raining and I think it rained for a good day or two, well, now I’m giving it away. Happy Friday everyone!

Portland Sunset

According to locals I was lucky to catch a real sunset in Portland in the month of February, they said that it fairly seldom event. Mostly the sky is overcast or it is raining. Sure enough, next morning it started raining, entire Pacific North West was under big rainy storm. It is rainy in that part of the country.

Friday Mystery Photo

Ship wreck enthusiasts will have an easy time with this one, so as beach goers in that part of the country. For the rest of us, it is not as commonly seen one, at least I never saw it till I actually stepped on that beach.

I guess if there was a sign “Swim at Your Own Risk”, it would be very appropriate here, with all of those metal rods sticking out, I’d be very careful to even walk around this wreck.

hot, Hot, Hot

Ohh man, we have another heat wave on the East coast. Yesterday my car was showing 107F,  and it is right around there, the official temperatures somewhere around 103-105F, so hot. Most of the flowers in my garden started to die, I had to do some heavy duty prolonged watering all around the house.

As you might guess, to fight the heat, I have a fairly cool, I mean, showing cool and cold environment, photo.  This is another one taken on the Mt Hood, nice cool sunset. Enjoy and have a great Sunday!
