Where you are and where I am not




Any guesses as to where this is?

Ashland, Oregon

Ashland. Oregon

Anybody who answers that fast (Kitty) is in the know.

Well my brain, which has never been to Colorado, yelled 'COLORADO' and I figured that was a good a guess as any. And then I zoomed the picture slightly and saw a weird looking....light? and my Geoguessr sense made me second guess myself.

and now everybody else is saying Ashland Oregon so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Somewhere cold.

nightsmusic said...

Beautiful, wherever it is.

NLiu said...

Definitely not Kansas.

I concur with Ashland, Or. I just spent two weeks in Eugene with my older brother while he recovered from major back surgery.

There's so much beauty on this earth, and Oregon is one of the most spectacular places. But they're about to get hit with a bomb cyclone. I also have family in Tahoe. They're already getting major snow. My nephew is the publisher of Tahoe Quarterly - he loves it when the drifts are up to the eaves of his house. No thanks.

Colorado is burried under two feet of snow. We haven't had pretty colored trees in almost two months.

Hmmmm...My first thought was Vermont, but I think it is buried in snow; right about now.

Ha, I read Kitty's, then 2N's first line and thought, oh it really must be 'Ashland.' (Then I read the rest of 2N's comment and laughed).

Just goes to show the power of suggestion. When more than one person says something with confidence, sometimes you kinda start to believe it. (Yikes!)

And, I want to visit there. That is my kind of world.

The highest point in Fla is 345 feet and that is onto being in Georgia, so I know it isn't here.

E.M. Goldsmith said...

A place I must visit and soon. How lovely.

Karl Henwood said...

It's Ashland, unless I'm way off base. The tall white building is a hotel I stayed in once, an old one that's rather odd.

John Davis Frain said...

I thought it was a view from Hank's lower forty, but he's already chimed in and didn't mention it, so I'm confidently going with Unknown.

Beth Carpenter said...

Oregon or Washington judging from the green mountains, so I'm following the crowd. Lovely, lovely place.

We have family coming to Northern Arizona from New Mexico, Denver, Durango, and Anchorage. Ironically, Anchorage is the surest bet. New Mexico has already dropped out. I think both Colorado groups will be able to slip out between storms, but we'll all probably be housebound here Thursday and Friday. Good thing I got a big turkey.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.

Another Oregonian chiming in: Ashland.

Fearless Reider said...

Um, Paradise?

Brenda said...

Lovely, wherever it is.

Karen McCoy said...

If the Oregonians are right, I'll have to make my way to Ashland. What a lovely place.

Beth I hope the storms aren't too bad out there. I remember when I lived in both Flag and Durango, the weather could turn on a dime.

Barbara Etlin said...

This looks like something out of a fairytale. It seems it's in Oregon, but my guess would have been Skagit Valley in Washington (not that I've been there).

The Sleepy One said...

Karen McCoy, are you a Shakespeare fan? Because Ashland is known for it's Oregon Shakespeare Festival. They have excellent productions and an interesting mix of plays (not everything is by Shakespeare). Ashland also has a charming downtown and a giant, beautiful park (Lithia Park).

Last time I visited, we stayed at a place with an in-room hot spring tub. It really is a magical place!

Katja said...

OMG is this beautiful!

AJ Blythe said...

That's a postcard perfect photo. How gorgeous. And no, have no idea, but will assume the locals have it with Ashland.

Karen McCoy said...

The Sleepy One absolutely yes! And the hot tub place sounds fabulous!

Michael Seese said...

I think it is Ashland. In the days BC (before children) my wife and I visited there every year with friends to see great theater at the OSF. We stayed at a B&B. But the tall building looks like the Ashland Springs Hotel, which I'm pretty sure used to be called the Marc Anthony.
