I’m off in Eastern Oregon this week, for a photography excursion with some members of the PhotoArts Guild. Eastern Oregon is quite a bit different than western Oregon, you’ll note as I share photos. You drive over the Cascades and enter the “high desert” – quite an arid place.
This one of the dunes is my favorite from yesterday, edited on the fly in the car. We completely missed a restaurant dinner, we were so entranced with the evening light on the dunes. Good thing I packed peanut butter and jelly! We all agreed, though: It was totally worth it.

What marvellous movement in the sand leading to a culminating point and that stretch of blue sky!
I hope you are fine, Kat!
Great Image! I used to live in Bend so it brought back some very pleasant memories.

“edited on the fly” ??? I am so jealous.
Excellent photo (and editing).
What a beautiful place on earth.
This is beautiful, love it!
Gorgeous lines, in their wondrous pattern, snaking up the hill to the brush and blue sky. I have never had the opportunity to shoot in a desert environment – what a different challenge it would be.
How fun….i’d love to go off on an adventure like that.
