A blogging event started by
The Guardian UK was brought to my attention by Elizabeth, blogger extraordinaire from
About New York and
The House in Marrakesh. Want to join in? Simply tell us about one of your favorite quirky, hidden places preferably in your own city. A cafe, park, gallery, bar...then post the link on the The Guardian UK site.
My city is technically a town, population 4,500. Nestled in the High Desert of Central Oregon, is a canyon I now call home. No chic cafes or trendy night clubs, (happily Bend is only 30 miles away...culture can be found!) it's all about scenery here. Crooked River Ranch...come visit.

You have such beautiful terrain around you! It's so inspirational.
This looks really exotic to city dweller me.
Yes, a secret to be discovered beore too very long I hope.
Thanks for playing!
What a gorgeous setting! I love to watch the way light plays around canyons--great pics!
So beautiful! Some day I will definitely take you up on the offer to come & visit & see all this wonderous beauty you are able to photograph daily with my own eyes :)
Such stunning natural beautiful - I love it..!
Is that Mount Hood in the bottom photo..?
Hope you have a great w/end..:)
I'm pretty sure it's Mt. Jefferson.
note to self: learn all 13 of the mountain's names....
How peaceful-if it were left to me, I'd never tell...it might encourage humans to move in! :)
Stunning,
thanks so much for sharing your hometown with us.

Beautiful. I am a dork and had no idea that the state of Oregon had a desert anywhere near it. Thank you for my little geography lesson!
2/3 of Oregon is desert, but the state is remembered for the wet, green Western side.
Well, compared to this, my local park will pale. Bah.
Last pic is a keeper!
Stunning photos. Thanks for sharing this place with us.

Absolutely beautiful photos! I would love to live out there someday.
Wonderful sceneries...will never find them anywhere near my home :D

Beautiful pictures..
I've been to Oregon (one of my favorite states) but never to the central part of the state. What a paradise! Thanks for sharing.
Oooo...I feel as though I have just visited you! That was fun. Great photos, Charmaine.
hey hey...Benji here from the original Guardian post. Cheers for taking part... how about tagging someone else to keep this going? it'll be fun to see how far this can go...
p.s. great pics!
This is one of the better ideas run by The Grun (that's a nickname we, Guardian readers, sometimes use) lately. I left a comment on the thread for benji. And what can I say? You've done it again! Amazing photos!
Greetings from London.
