Central Oregon Landscapes – Christopher Barth Photography | Oregon Landscape Photographer

Thirst is a powerful force. Something inside of Chris is always thirsty. Since we only had one more weekend off before our busy wedding season kicks in full gear, he really wanted to gets some more images captured that sparks his inner spirit! While he has made similar images, he thinks the next one will always be better. So in the dead of night Chris slipped out from under the warm blankets. Dressed in his finest synthetics and drove up to West Village at Mount Bachelor. Spring operations meant there would be no uphill restrictions on Monday and Tuesday. He left the car at 6300′ and made a beeline to Pine Marten Lodge at 7775′. After an hour he found himself taking a break sitting next to Bill Healy’s statue. Chris felt like he owned the place. He felt pretty strong too, 1475′ vertical in an hour. This left plenty of time to scout a great viewpoint for sunrise. The waxing gibbous moon of this years perigee provided ample light. The wind scoured icy slopes of the mounts upper reaches provided a taste of adventure. Chris and I hope you enjoy the images just as much as he enjoyed creating it.Earlier in the week we took a drive out to Pine Mountain Observatory so that Chris could capture the gorgeous sunset and the waxing gibbous moon that was in perigee.Enjoy!
