"A lake is the landscape’s most beautiful and expressive feature. It is earth’s eye; looking into which the beholder measures the depth of his own nature. The fluviatile trees next the shore are the slender eyelashes which fringe it, and the wooded hills and cliffs around are its overhanging brows."
~ Henry David Thoreau
Detroit Lake and Lake Billy Chinook
Another pictorial example of the climate/landscape differences in Oregon. Detroit Lake is in the wet, western part of Oregon, Lake Billy Chinook is located in the High Desert of Central Oregon.

I agree totally with the quote and the two pictures support the argument very well.
Excellent post.
Greetings from London.
Both are beautiful looking areas!
What beautiful pictures..One so green and the other so blue..lovely.
I am totally envious of your little neck of the woods!
Beautiful!
Magnificent!
And Lake Billy looks bigger and more peaceful... might have to come check it out sometime.

In fact, looking at both pictures again, I fancy a swim in the lake on the right, although the water might prove a bit too cold for me.
Greetings from London.
Detroit Lake! Yeah!
Sooooo pretty! I have to say the wetter looks better!
Beautiful picture!! now how did you get those picture side by side?
Have a great weekend :D
Funny to see the difference. We have a city here, Antalya, wich is on the South coast. In winter time it is hot enough to swim in the sea, but in the mountains, just a few miles away you can ski!
great comparison - It is crazy the difference!
