Upper Klamath Lake, Oregon.

This is my photo of Upper Klamath Lake, Oregon. From the road from Medford to Klamath Falls. I was overcome by its expanse and serene feel. So quiet. Full of birds and other wildlife.

See previous blog post for more details, or check Wikipedia.

Klamath Lake (Upper) from the rim of Crater Lake - deepest lake in continental U.S.A.

Talking to an online friend from another country about Klamath Lake. I remarked that I had some photos of it that I loved. They have remained hidden away, unshared. They are much too remarkably beautiful not to share. I've always thought I may paint them 'some day' but anyone wanting to know the beauty of this area would love to see this lake, I'm sure.

This was taken about 4-5 years ago. This lake is also known as 'Upper Klamath Lake'. 
See Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upper_Klamath_Lake

"The largest body of fresh water by surface area in Oregon, it is approximately 25 miles (40 km) long and 8 miles (13 km) wide and extends northwest from the city of Klamath Falls. It sits at an average elevation of 4,140 feet (1,260 m)." "The lake depth fluctuates due to regulation of its water supply, averaging between 8 to 60 feet (2.4 to 18.3 m) deep."

Crater Lake is a whole other story. :)

A place to enjoy summer days!

With all the forests and lakes and waterways in Southern Oregon, there is no shortage of great places to spend a summer day. One not too far from Medford is Lake of the Woods. It is a resort that has been around for over a century. Seeped in history. A place for great fun and memories. http://www.lakeofthewoodsresort.com/ With temperatures hitting over 100 degrees at the moment, it sure is a great place to be.
