Josep, Thank you for taking a look at my photos. I enjoyed looking at your photographs of a very beautiful country. I was in Barcelona two years ago and enjoyed it very much. Ron

West of Summer Lake, Oregon, as seen from a wayside

Monument Rock slipped as a block from Slide Mountain

The Fort Rock Caves, where ancient sage sandals were found, are actually located in that formation west of Fort Rock itself. Seen from the west rim of Fort Rock.

Made from 10 hollowed logs for grazing animals as well as passing traffic on the wagon road. The spring has dried up, but the plants are still a bit greener here.

These drawings are on in easily accessible place. Others are found within a km or so.

Winter Falls usually dries up in summer. In winter and spring, I think it is the tallest fall in the park. It is not readily visible from the top rim. There is a cut-off trail down into the canyon here.

The topography tells us that sometimes this collection of drips is rapid enough to erode. Most of the time it is just right for some happy plants. Seeping springs and trickling streams are common in Silver Falls Park

Yet another 30 foot drop on the North Fork.

One of several short falls on the North fork of Silver Creek
