At this time the wildflowers are prime, the mountains have a dusting of snow, and the green fields are dotted with red barns. We'll also make a side trip to the spectacular Imnaha River Canyon.

The Imnaha River runs through a wild and rugged canyon in Oregon's Hell's Canyon country. I was absolutely taken by it's beauty. Hard to believe such a place is hiding in a corner of Oregon. It's a world apart from the popular Wallowa Lake area just 30 miles away.

Hot air ballooning over the Cappadocia region of central Turkey at sunrise is a life experience. It's an amazing place, geologically and historically. Give it a Google if you'd like to find out more. If you've never photographed from a balloon before it is quite a challenge. Everything is in motion so you have no control over the scene you will see and when something nice does line up it is gone within seconds.
