This is a cell tower located off of Skyliners road near the water tanks. The "tree" stands about 60 feet above the rest of the forest and is much darker in color. Admittedly, as silly as it looks, it is way better than a large undisguised steel pole sticking up out of the forest. From most of Bend, this tower is almost invisible.

Barely visible just above the horizon is comet McNaught.

I had to put this mid winter sunset in. This was the nicest I've seen since coming to Bend 5 years ago.

Just a couple of days later ( Jan 31,2007 ) we find ourselves in the midst of Hoars fog. When this shows up, it often lasts for days.
Generally just one side of the surface of most things outdoors, is covered in a light to moderate coating of ice crystals. Also, the temperature ranges just a few degrees a day from about 17 degrees to 24 degrees during this time. It appears as if everything is sugar coated.

Feb 23, 2007 early morning sunrise on the Cascades
after a prolonged period of light snow. |
| Not from the webcam, but I thought this was a cool picture. I got this from up on Longview Street in Bend during some strong thunderstorms on 08/30/2007. This is looking NE towards the Old Mill and Pilot Butte in Bend. It shows a sun pillar lighting up a small area during a series of strong storms. This was taken by my camera phone. |
