Florence Sand Dunes - The ATV ride

All Terrain Vehicle...Riding that was the agenda of this weekend. My friends and I randomly decided to visit Sand Dunes in Florence which lie along the coast of Oregon. The pictures that follow were not taken from my Canon Rebel XSI but from my Nexus One's 5MP camera.


















That was my ATV, the transmission belt of which snapped during the ride and I got a new one then.



















My buddy Belo! Fast and Furious...was leading the pack. The orange one was the replacement ATV.




















My buddy Pavan found himself lost several times in the dunes.



















The landscape was not bland...
























and the sea was enigmatic as ever!

My blog displays pictures which according to me are good but you can visit a wide range of my pictures here:

The Blair Witch Project

'Paranormal Activity' is a nice scary movie and today we wanted to experience it ourselves. So, my friends and I headed out to a haunted place - 'The witches castle'. This place lies in lower Macleay Park. While you can find a lot of stuff on the internet about why it is haunted, I am gonna post what I experienced first hand.

It was a beautiful sunny day and we started our hike in the afternoon...




It was colorful




We walked on the trail known for 'Ghost War'
























Saw the Balch Creek which reflects faces of dead people...
























..and finally got to see the witches castle..


























 It was a nice excursion indeed but was it haunted?..I guess the ghosts were friendly with us...but one thing I can say for sure...it was very beautiful ...
