North and Upper North Falls, Silver Falls State Park, Oregon
At the end of 2016, I took a quick trip to North and Upper North Falls in Oregon's Silver Falls State Park. In a state filled with incredible waterfalls, these two are among my very favorite. The park is near the fun little town of Silverton; if you find yourself in the area, please check out these falls, and the rest of Silver Falls State Park...

The perfect way to say farewell to this place. The spa is an oasis of modern luxury sitting alone in stark fields of black lava rock. The lagoon pool itself has a soft floor of what I assume is pulverized rock, and the water is sky blue. When we were there, the air was a hair above freezing; so clouds of steamy fog rose from the water and swirled in the breeze. Breathtakingly beautiful...
Icelandair Stopover Buddy Adventure with ATV – Óbyggðaferðir (Post 2 of 2)
The weather was gorgeously sunny, but biting, biting cold.

And I remembered, not too surprisingly, that Ridley Scott filmed his gorgeous mess Prometheus in Iceland...
