      Humbly this is about 1 km from my back gate. I sold my home here in Arizona and will be moving to Oregon this summer. With my new environment and new camera I should be able to take some great photos to post. Posted 10 years ago

        For being a non-US citizen, what there's to see in Oregon? Posted 10 years ago

          Oregon is a vastly diverse climate and has abundant water systems. Ocean beaches to 4000m mountain ranges. 50% of the state gets 380cm of rain per year and the other half is desert climate. 238 waterfalls and there are about 6,150 lakes and reservoirs larger than one acre, for a total of more than 520,000 acres. Coming from the Arizona desert... I am excited to photograph there. I lived in Oregon from the age of 9 - 45 when I did not own a camera. Posted 10 years ago
