from "Compelling Landscapes"...24 images from The Oregon Cascades

       Here are mountain scenes from the Oregon Cascades.  This gallery of volcanic mountains,  forest scenes,  waterfalls,  and crisp mountain rivers is only a snippet of the 700 mile long Cascade Mountain Range.  There are delicate colors of morning,  "Mt Hood Morning Sky"  and evening,  "Mt Jefferson in the Evening".  There are pictures that honor spring,  "Mt Hood Draped in Flowers"  summer,  "Carving at Metolius River Lodge"  and winter, "Fir Trees in the Snow".
      Oregon's "Timberline Lodge"  stands tall, a respite for winter skiers ... a doorway to fun for nearly 2 million visitors in summer.
      The Oregon Cascades Mountain Range punctuates several different National Forests.  "Jagged Mt Thielsen "  is a scene from the eastern slopes of the Cascades in the Umpqua National Forest. "Sahalie Falls on the McKenzie River",   "Koosah Falls"  and  "Aufderheide-On the Mountain Meadow"  are from the Willamette National Forest.
     The High Cascades with its volcanic peaks, alpine meadows, and conifer forests present imagery for every mental state... "Chinquapins"  for the curious... "Jefferson Calling"  for an escape to the ethereal!  presenting...
