Friday's Focus - 2020/12/18 - Next State Over

[Kyle Jones]

Hi Everyone - the focus for this week is images from states (or other regions for people outside the US) that border your state. So it is kind of like travelling, but only a little way

So since California is bordered by Nevada, Arizona and Oregon, here's an image from each to get us started...

1) Nevada - Valley of Fire

2) Arizona - Red Rock Crossing in Sedona

3) Oregon - Abiqua Falls

Washington only has two.

Looking across Northern OR. Pano north from the summit of South Sister. L-R: Middle Sister, Three Fingered Jack, Mt. Jefferson behind North Sister, Mt. Hood, Mt. Adams.

Washington is only bordered by Idaho and Oregon so I have less to show and especially for Idaho. I drive through Idaho in transit other places a lot but haven't taken many images there to be honest. This first shot is from the western end of Lake Pend Oreille:

Oregon on the other hand is where I shoot most often and especially along the coast. This is a sunset shot from Brookings:

Nice topic, Kyle. Arizona is bordered by New Mexico, Utah, Colorado (at least at the four corners area), Nevada. and California so here goes.

When you are boxed in the NW corner of the country, you have only two neighboring states. Strange as it may sound, I have never done any serious photography in Idaho. Perhaps this needs rectifying. Here is one from Oregon.

As usual, fantastic stuff on a fun topic. It is revealing to realize even though my home state of CO borders many states (especially if you take 4 corners into account) I have nothing from Kansas or Oklahoma, and almost nothing form Wyoming. I decided to try to at least mostly post what I have not posted before. Unfortunately, the pano images just don't have the same impact on a typical computer display...

Arizona, a rare B&W for me:

New Mexico, this is the view right out the door of the Casita del Lago, on the shores of the Chama River as it emptiesd into Abiquiu Rservoir. Our group of 4 astroimagers has come here multiple times for a week of astrophotography fun:

Utah, Delicate Arch at last light:

Nebraska, Eclipse Composite, this has been posted previously, but this is a later version that brought out more corona detail...

Another Coloradan here. I have nothing from Nebraska, Kansas or Oklahoma. But, oh, the remaining states....... hard to choose! Mostly I tried to pick the less usual kind of shots.

Wind Rivers in Wyoming.

Hidden Valley outside of Moab, Utah

Orderville Cascades in Zion, Utah

Canyon Road Christmas Eve in Santa Fe, NM

If you guys hadn't reminded me of 4 Corners, I would have left out AZ.
The entrance to Havasu in the Grand Canyon.

Redwall Cavern in the Grand Canyon.
