| Rogue River Gorge Viewpoint
|
|
|
|
|
| We stopped at the Rogue River Gorge viewpoint and ambled along the
narrow, rapid river for a bit. Here is some moss along the path.
| More atmospheric moss-covered rock.
| An oblique look at the river, which is narrow at this point.
| A panoramic movie of this segment of the river, complete with the sound
of rushing water.
|
|
|
|
|
|
| The Rogue River runs rapidly through these narrow sections.
| | A series of small waterfalls, taken at a high resolution. Look at the
full-sized image and enjoy the detail of the water and the moss (esp. in
the top-third). Nominated as excellent.
| Near the top of this segment of trail, the Rogue River doesn't look like
much, more like a fast stream.
Incidentally, the rock here is in what's called pothole formations.

| A stitched vertical panorama of a really tall tree across the river. It
almost looks like one tree is growing on top of another.
| Neat atmospheric (heh) clouds. I don't know how I got this effect. Not
excell-ent, but I could be convinced.
| A stump. Why is this special? Read the next picture.
living stump
| The stump in the previous picture is alive!

| A small bridge the road crosses. Definitely a forest shot.
| Looking down the Rogue River after a gorge, the river widens and is
flanked by fall foliage.
| Ibid, only vertical.
| A close-up of these rapids.

|
| Peyton Bridge
|
|
|
The Rogue River is much wider near Peyton Bridge. This photograph
looks downstream.
Funky clouds, they look like a computer
rendering. In fact, the whole photograph has that feel.
| Looking upstream from Peyton Bridge.

|
| Rogue Elk
|
|
|
We pulled off at the Rogue Elk campground and found the Rogue River here
wide, peaceful, and pretty. Looked like a nice place to go rafting.

| Shady Cove
|
|
|
| Rogue River as it appears when it runs through the town of Shady Cove.
| The power lines crossing the river by this bridge were laid heavy with
pigeons.

|
| Rogue Valley Farmers & Crafts Market
|
|
|
|
|
| A sample shot of the Rogue Valley Growers & Crafters Market. It's held
in a parking lot.
| One booth sold cactuses!
| Another booth sold predatory plants. I like the look of the ones in the
middle of this picture. (View the full-sized image; they don't look as
interesting shrunk.)
| A close-up of one of the carnivorous plants. It's clearly a pitcher
plant of some sort. (Note: it's not the same as the plants I pointed
out in the previous picture.)
|
|
|
|
|
| Neat mobiles for sale at the market.
| One booth sold dog treats, mainly bones of various types. Quite a
selection!
| One booth had a miniature donut-making machine. Not only is the machine
small, making only one row of donuts at a time, the donuts are smaller
than average as well.

at the valley's edge.
