Sisters

While I was in Central Oregon, I lived in a place called Camp Sherman, which is basically a community of homes and a couple camp sites/ tourist lodges, so, I wouldn't call it a town.  Apart from having lovely country, Camp Sherman has a Post Office, primary school and convenience store, but that is about it.  In order to do grocery shopping and take Lani to school, we travel to a little town called Sisters, about 20 minutes away.  Sisters is named after a range of mountains nearby called the "Three Sisters".  The town itself is well kept and many of the buildings are historic looking - I don't remember seeing any  very modern structures or any buildings over three stories tall... Sisters is known for the great variety of outdoor activities it offers and also for being a place of culture and art.  I have taken some photos to show the natural beauty of the place.  Hope you like the snowy Sisters as much as I do! 

This first photo shows the road on the way from Camp Sherman to Sisters - this road is straight for almost a mile and is bordered by pine trees most of the way!

The Three Sisters

Landscape on the perimeter of the Town.  It may seem a little brown since it is the end of Fall/ early Winter.

Yellow school bus!  This photo is taken near to the Sisters Middle School

Good morning, Sisters!  Pic taken after dropping Lani off at school -- there is still frost on the ground.

Typical Sisters farm:  fields then pine forest and mountains in the background.

Local bank - very Country-western looking, right?

Sorry, this isn't a very good photo, but it will give you a glimpse of part of the town.

A ranch on the outskirts of town...

Gorgeous, even on an overcast day!

Although most of my photos, above, show a very rural country, the Sisters Town does have enough going on to keep one busy... and there are quite a few little restaurants and boutiques, a movie theatre, and a couple large grocery stores (or 'department stores' haha!  (it's a joke Heidi, Chris and I have :) )... In fact, there is even a Subway and McDonald's, so if you are a 'city person', don't worry, you will survive!!

PS.  You may want to Google search images of the mountains to get a better idea, because I feel like my photography doesn't do the Three Sisters justice
