I mentioned a few days ago that my friend Marty, the best friend a guy could ever have, and I drove down to Oregon to bring my pig, Godzilla, home after a ten day hospital stay. On the road, we hit a few patches of winter weather which, while never fun to drive through, always makes me happy if I have a camera with me.
Here are a few snapshots that I took through the passenger side window of Marty's truck, while we were moving. I wish I had time to get out and compose them properly but we were on a pretty tight schedule to get all the way there and back in one day. Please enjoy.
You can click on any image to enlarge too. It was a winter wonderland!
absolutely beautiful

Great photos! The first two have a desolate look I associate with the Midwest

I lived in the Eugene-Springtucky area for grad school and when it did snow there it was like rain in Hell-A. People freaked out and lost all ability to drive or act "normal". Unlike Hell-A it was always very pretty scenery.
Cool pics. (ha!)

There is a certain something to winter pictures. And I love them. Impressive pictures from a moving vehicle.

You know, you can quit your day job and become
a photographer. That way "Chief" will finally
think you've wised up and got a real job!

seriously bean... you need to just be a photographer (and blogger). Everytime I see some of your photography I am just blown away.
As always, THANK YOU for sharing!
