Upper Klamath Lake Drone Video at Sunset with Autumn Leaves October 2025

Upper Klamath Lake Drone Video at Sunset with Autumn Leaves October 2025

Upper Klamath Lake in Oregon Like an Autumn Mirror

This was my second time in the area of Klamath Falls for long time land real estate client Hemingway Land Company. This trip to photograph four land properties brought me to the Upper Klamath Lake area by the small town of Chiloquin. Right after I finished the 7.5 hour drive from Pacific Grove, California to Chiloquin, I checked into my hotel room, dropped off my bags, and headed right to the first property which was a stone’s throw from the lake. The client also wanted drone video and photos of the lake itself, so I went just a bit south of the property to Henzel Park where the sun was reflecting off the surface of the lake like a giant mirror. It was a stunning scene, that I had all to myself! If you can believe it, no one else was at this park seeing this incredible view. I am glad to share the drone video, drone photos, and still photos of this special sunset from this special place in Oregon.

Scenes from Farmhouse Cafe in Taos New Mexico Photography

Best pancakes of my life!

I do not often eat out at restaurants, as I think it is the least value for money in nearly all of modern society.  However, after a very long day of photography and drone video at 40+ rural land properties the day before in the middle of nowhere west of Taos, I thought Jessica and the dogs (well, they at least got free water!) deserved a treat.  In our previous trips to Taos, we never got to stop at Overland Ranch, which is really just a very mountain-town looking style shopping plaza.  This time we did and in it we found the Farmhouse Cafe with its wonderful outdoor setting.

Autumn Leaves Red & Yellow in Japan 50mm bokeh fine art photography

Autumn leaves from my Japan archives made in 2008 - Nikon D80 Nikkor 50mm @ f/2 ISO 400 1/250th

Since it is now October 8th and the temperature is still 86F and rising here in Florida, I had to go into my Japan photography archives to find an autumn colors image.  Not that we ever get such color changing in leaves here, but still.  This autumn leaves image is also early in my photography learning, as if you read the exif data and have ever taken one of my photography lessons, I would never use those settings now, especially not ISO 400 when there was still so much shutter speed to play with!
