I photographed all kinds of wild and wintery scenes in Oregon last month, but every once in a while I paused to take a quick video too. Sometimes words and images just don't do a landscape justice, so I'm glad I was able to capture the sparkling snow and rugged coast just the way I saw it.

Halfway through the trip I was concerned I might have missed some shots (and woefully misjudged the weather and light), but when it was time to leave I was more than satisfied -- and already trying to figure out a way to get back up to the magical, snowy PNW...
