When I had my RV Oregon State Parks were my primary destinations for more than a few road trips.

Alan, beautiful State Park images—love them all! I love your capture of the big wave at Shore Acres State Park—use of the short shutter speed really works well here! Secret Beach and Harris Beach also are especially nice as well. I like your Silver Beach composition too.

This is Berchestgaden National Park in Germany. We spent 3 days here earlier in the month. The weather wasn't kind with constant low clouds and lots of rain but we made the most of it. Ken
Our hotel was the floodlit one.

Turning round and this was the view

A short walk beyond the light coloured cafe brought this view up Konigsee

The boats are electrically powered with no internal combustion engines allowed, they have been electric since 1905.

I wanted to get up higher to get a better overview of the Lake and the surrounding mountains and glaciers but this day had the highest cloud base so my one attempt brought me into thick cloud that never shifted

Ken, an interesting trip I’m sure—love the last B&W image, very nice!

Love the variety of beautiful images you’ve shared Doug—and two parks you’ve included I’ve never heard of—much less visited. Thank you! My favorite is Coal Mine Canyon—an absolutely gorgeous landscape—love it!
