Description I was taking a road trip with my room mate (Sparten ) and we were nearing the end of our day up in the snow. As we were driving back we saw a clearing on the side of the road and this is what we both saw. So being the photographers we are, we sat there and climbed rocks and took tons of photos of this.

For those of you who are wondering, yes this is a real place! It is in Oregon, Highway 20 going between I-5 and Bend, OR. Feel free to comment!!

Also check out the non-framed version. I couldn't decided which one I liked better... so I posted Both! Print available.

when this day finnaly comes, I'll order some billions of prints. including THIS of yours, obviously.
and it's a good idea to give prints for Christimas quite different, and depending on the picture, the sentimental cost would be great and the simplicity of he gift would be forgotten.
( aparted comment: if someone would give me a nice poster of horror movies or one of my favourite bands, it would be an amazing Christimas )

I think people forget that you don't need to spend tons of money to give a nice gift. Some of the best gifts cost very little!! I've always stood by that at least.

I bought a frame for this pic and everything. And let me tell you... finding a frame thats 20x30 is not an easy task!! But i knew wal-mart was good for something! lol

mmmm, Oregon is so pretty. <3 I have a view sort of like this from my house, miles and miles of evergreens and pines and stuff... but mine slopes down to the Puget Sound. (I live in WA, lol)

Still, very beautiful. Looks cold, though. *shivers*

Wow lucky you!! I don't have a view at all from my place. Just more apartments lol. Do you get snow up there? Or just tons and tons of rain?? lol.

It was quite a bit chilly up there. Especially when snow got in my boots haha. Ah but it was worth it. It really was an awesome weekend road trip.

By the way thanks for the comment! Oh and I hope you didn't get flooded out this last month!!

haha yeah, I know, I love that view... I should take pics at some point. XD And we get lots of rain, but very little snow. And don't worry, we didn't get flooded--we're at the top of a hill. ^_- A few roads got washed away, though...

And you are quite welcome! It was a spectacular photo. <3

'The photo only encompasses a small portion of what was there.'
SMALL PORTION?! รง-รง
'...seeing miles and miles of this...'
better than the photograph, just itself.
about the prints: there's a condition where mom and dad wouldn't let me have one, if you understand. if you don't, the prints will have other owners, amazing other ones. [I hope] my memory doesn't fail, and I will always remember this pic! A_A' and it's on my favourites >.< everytime I login Deviantart, I'll see it

I don't care if you'll let me or not, I'm faving this pic! XD *anything, warn me o.o*

Thanks alot!!! Yes I basically had the same face when I was standing there seeing this with my own eyes. I mean I did feel like I was in some sort of dream world. The photo only encompasses a small portion of what was there. Sitting there and seeing miles and miles of this was just amazing.

And yay thanks for the favorite!! I did add another version of this for prints (without the frames)

I've always wanted to check out Norway! I've always heard about how beautiful it is over there. And how the towns are just pristine. Sounds like quite a place to visit and/or live. One day hopefully...

Where was this taken ?
This looks like the Table Mountains of Newfoundland.

This is amazing .. the contrast, details, focus - everything is so well balanced out. A very sweet shot.

This was taken in Oregon. I really should have posted more information. Hmm maybe I'll edit my comment on it! Anyway it is on Highway 20 between I-5 and Bend, OR. Just absolutely amazing up there. Thats what its like for miles up there!!

This is a few up in the mountains in Oregon. More specifically its on Highway 20 going between I-5 (the main interstate that goes between Mexico and Canada) and Bend, Oregon. I was lucky to be there and see this with my own eyes.

Thanks alot!
