Here is a shot of Bend in July as seen from Pilot Butte. I was in a rush as the peak color was starting right when I arrived so I snapped this one off. Its hard to compose up there with all the trees on the butte.
Anyways...just a shot of a nice city surrounded by nice nature.

Khristian,
I've been up there a few times trying to capture a sunset. I never had the luck you had with this image. The sky is sweet and the image is real sharp. Very cool!

Terrific, Khristian. That is some color. Love the way the blvd takes you right into the scene. Good to see you posting.

Real nice Khristian. I have been to this view point and this is definitley a keeper.

Nice, Khristian - maybe try a crop just below the round-roofed building. To me, that curve in the road is counter-flow to the overall image, and would be nice to remove.

And thanks for the crop tip, Tom. Ill give that a try!

My only nit, Khristian, would be the halo along the mountain ridge. Other than that, it's real sweet.
