You have something on your mustache, again
like a booger
Hello, everyone, from one of my favorite spots in Oregon, from the Alvord desert
We just got here, we are just getting settled in
We're going to be spending the night here
I'm going to be doing a lot of night photography,
not a lot of star photography, though, because it's very cloudy
but I think I can still do some cool things with the light and the dry ground
What a night
It was so windy last night, I'm surprised we still have a tent
We couldn't sleep in the tent, we slept in the car because it was so, so loud
the noise of the tent moving... you see?
It is much better now, it's not as windy
I couldn't get much sleep but the sun is about to rise here, so it's time to do some photography
So windy
I'm going to get low to protect myself from the wind
We are done, we are leaving the desert, we are driving somewhere else now, probably Bend
but we don't have a place or anything so we'll see
I'll try to make photos on the way there because these landscapes around here are beautiful
so if I see something, I'll stop and I'll try to document the drive as well
so stay with me just for a little bit longer
let's do this
This is one of those few places where you can drive without hands and with your eyes closed
okay, enough
dork
We did make it to Bend
as you can see I'm already taking photos here, a very, very different place from the Alvord desert
I just wanted to wrap up this video with a few final words about the desert
It's a very special place and I left it this time with the feeling that
I didn't capture what I wanted to capture, neither with video or photo
This is a very special place for us, we went there several times,
but the first time was the very special one
we were very naive back then, we didn't plan that trip that much,
we weren't aware of the snowstorm that hit the region just a few days before
so when we got there for thanksgiving day
it was all covered in snow, and it was very, very cold it was -23
I'd never been that cold in my whole life
I'd never felt so far away from civilization in my whole life,
that place is very remote but it felt especially remote with that weather
The cherry on top was something that we weren't aware of either,
there was a bloody full moon, a red full moon, it was so beautiful
We had the coyotes howling behind us in the mountains, we were pretty much alone there
It was beautiful and a trip that I will never forget
Very special, very, very beautiful place the Alvord desert,
and I look forward to the next time visiting, hopefully with less wind
I still hope that you guys enjoyed this video
Thank you so much for watching
and see you next time from here, from beautiful Bend, Oregon
