Hello C. Jensen,

Thanks for the comment!

One of my favorite areas to photograph is the Mckenzie Pass from Sisters all the way to Hwy 126 and I've been noticing over the past 3 years The trees are dying off at an alarming rate.

If you were standing at windy point looking at Mt Washington there used to be a beautiful swath of forrest extending into the lava flow and up onto the flanks of the mountain. (like the area around George Lake.) The trees have just turned white and died.

If you follow Hwy 242 over the pass and ontoward proxy falls the trees along the hwy are dying as well. I stopped by Scott lake and saw the same thing happening there. The tree bark seems to be just sheeting off these trees. What was once a beautiful green forest is filled with dead snags.

Is this caused by the bark beetle or the blister rust or both?

Michael...

Sabes utilizar el Phososhop y además, has reducido mucho la imagen para que no se note que la has retocado...

I have been photographing Oregon since 2001. I mainly do landscapes. They seem to be much easier to work with :)\ I am drawn to the outdoors because I feel most at peace in nature. I would love to do a book someday. Maybe with a focus on the environment. I see so much trashing and vandalizing of our parks, wildlands, and monuments. I believe nature photographers get a front row seat to observe climate change and its tangeable effects on the land. With their cameras ready to record the proof. I feel a need at this time to preserve the land through my photos.
