My favorite ditch in Stayton runs by the public library and the Community Center Park, and provide a good place to hang out. These trees literally hang over the water, and I just think they’re nifty.
I took this photo last summer. During these dull, gray winter months, I find myself longing for the sun. Of [...]
A view of the water tower… which is probably the highest structure in Stayton, from an elevation standpoint. Those things on top of the tower are cell/mobile receiver thingies (surely that’s the proper technical term), from what I understand.
It’s good it says ‘Stayton’ on the side, just in case folks in town ever forget where [...]
It’s been raining a lot lately, so I thought I’d post a photo of a happier time, when the sky was filled with golden hues from a sun I can now only vaguely remember.
Guest photographer Tom Grimes of Gresham took the beautiful photo above of Oneonta Gorge in the Columbia River Gorge along the northern border of Oregon. His description:
This is a photo taken of Oneonta Gorge in the Columbia River Gorge. You can only visit during the summer low water. The first challenge is climbing over the [...]
This bridge spans the Santiam River as the road heads south of out city limits. It isn’t a long bridge… at least when going over it in a car. But I discovered it seems a lot longer when one’s walking it and the darned thing lacks a sidewalk and cars are rushing very close by [...]
This bench lives at a newish park on the north end of 3rd Ave. I think it’s called Santiam Park, but I’m not sure. The park section for the City of Stayton is a bit out of date on that front.
If it isn’t called Santiam, then let’s pretend. The park, whatever you want to call [...]
Today’s photo is just a shot of the train tracks along Locust St. at the west end of town.
I posted a photo back in November (Rail Line) by Dave at StaytonEvents.com of the same tracks, taken a little bit further west. His blows my photo out of the water.
This is the recently reinstated church bell at the United Methodist Church on Fern Ridge Rd. It used to be at the church, then it wasn’t, and now it is again.
The ridged thing in the foreground is part of the church’s roof. It has a nifty pattern to it, in my opinion.
In the ‘historic’ section of downtown Stayton, on 3rd Ave., several older buildings have storefronts at street level and apartments up above. This doorway leads to such apartments.
The non-denominational Foothills Church resides on Fern Ridge Rd. It’s one of four churches all on that part of Fern Ridge Rd., all of different denominations.
That stretch also has a cemetery, mortuary, and hospital either on the road or right near. I like to think of it as one stop shopping of the living and [...]
Today’s photo is a bridge railing on the south end of town, between 3rd and 4nd Ave, along E. Water St. It sits over a different part the same water canal of which I posted a photo the other day. Then, I wasn’t sure what the water was called, but Dave over at StaytonEvents.com helpfully [...]
The Immaculate Conception Church sits across the street from St. Mary’s catholic grade school on 6th Ave. It has a lovely stained glass window on the front, of which I posted a photo back in July.
Stayton has several churches, and I keep meaning to take pictures of all of them. For now, you can view [...]
We had some heavy rain yesterday, and it brought out the worms. They were everywhere… sidewalks, streets, driveways.
The little fella above was busy working his way up a hilly driveway when I took his photo. That’s rather industrious for such a small guy. Or gal. Or whatever. I didn’t check.
Finding a map which names the bodies of water around Stayton ain’t easy. I’ve found two different topography maps which seem to have conflicting information. Or I just don’t understand how to read them. Or both.
Anyway, the water in the photo above is either something called ‘main canal’ (of what, I don’t know, but it’s [...]
We have another photo from guest photographer Ronda Faught! This time it’s a lovely photo she took a few days ago in nearby Springfield. Thanks again for sharing, Ronda.
