Did you hit the hot springs at Alvord? It's one of my favorite spots in SE Oregon.

Yes I stumbled upon it quite unexpectedly. I was the only one dressed. The hostess pointed out where the best spots might be for shooting "cracked mud".

Thank you everyone. I'm so glad you enjoyed this last picture. Since you liked it so much I will post more.

To be honest this is the closest I've felt to being in Baja without being there. The immense open spaces and complete silence that much of Baja still provides is all here at Alvords. Even the dirt road it takes to get here.

Such great photos! Thanks Igor...

I can see you've been out stalking photos in your new location. Looks like the hunt was fun and you captured a number of fine images.

I especially like #4. That slender branch with Spring's new leaves seems so very delicate. And the water truly enhances that overall feminine feel. Interesting also as compared to your first image, which feels quite masculine to me.

And the Painted Hills shot just makes me smile. That's Was my response when I first saw 'em and I'm smiling again with your lovely reminder.

I liked these pix, Igor, every bit as much as I liked your Baja ones.
Thank you.

Nice to see you on this website again stranger. I shouldn't say that. I'm participating less myself.

Your comments about images being masculine or feminine were interesting. I never think in those terms myself. I also that picture of the branch over the water. I usually post my pictures on fb and on a photographers website. The last image got little attention (likes, if you like) on fb but the photographers liked it. Sometimes it's the other way around.

Fabulous Igor!! Just beautiful!! Love your composition, what a great portfolio.

Skipjack Joe - 9-3-2015 at 09:06 AM

Thanks Ken. I'm really enjoying retirement with my new toy.

DianaT - 9-3-2015 at 10:01 AM

A beautiful series of pictures --- my favorite being Fish at Davis Lake.

Just this last year we discovered that part of Oregon and love it. It is such a shame that there are fires in Eastern Oregon now.

And your new office is perfect and the best kind of office. :-)
