Let's end the week with a trip down a little side street in Montmartre. Note the pizza parlor on the left. I think the only thing more prevalent in France than pizza parlors are pharmacies. Paris, France; September, 2009.

One of the most popular drives in Oregon is the one from the Portland area to Government Camp at the base of Mount Hood. Without a doubt the most popular place to pull over on that drive is right here when one gets the first really good, nearly full view of the peak. I took this one just in that amber hour as the sun was getting ready to set, through the fog/clouds. Cascade foothills, rural Clackamas County, Oregon; November, 2009.

Oh, heck. We started the week with a sunset, let's end it with one, too. I was looking out my front window week before last and saw this through the trees. I grabbed my little point and shoot, ran outside and snagged this one. (click on the thumbnail to see how the ants ate the leaves) Madras, Oregon; October, 2009.
