The "high desert" photograph is of Smith Rock and Gray Butte, which is in Central Oregon. Still, I think the photo should stay, because I think that in terms of climate at geography, Central Oregon is arguably a subregion of Eastern Oregon. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Karl Dickman (talk • contribs) 03:32, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
