A Little Broken Up
Aug 31st
I happened past the water tower a few days ago and noticed this light fixture hanging from the tower. I didn’t break it, I swear! The color of the water tower is due to the setting sun casting some pretty colors.
Sunset On The Water
Aug 30th
Today’s photo is another view of the water from yesterday’s post, looking in the opposite direction in order to catch the colors of the setting sun and part of a bridge being reflected on the water.
Another Stop Along The Way
Aug 29th
This little shed sits next to the little creek just off of 4th Ave. I don’t know why the shed is there… it’s on private property, so I couldn’t get any closer to investigate.
Through Yonder Trees Doth Hill Does Break
Aug 28th
… Or something like that. Anyway, this was taken looking east out of town past some trees towards some tree covered hills. There are a lot of trees in this photo. There are a lot of trees in and around Stayton. I love trees. Trees make me happy.
I have the sudden desire to go outside and hug a tree. But I won’t… at least, not until I’ve finished this post.
A Dog’s Best Friend
Aug 27th
Since I seem to be on an emergency services kick, why not highlight that little hunk of… well, whatever it’s made from… better known as a fire hydrant or fireplug?
Really, why not? Because I have a picture of one, so it would really be handy. So that’s what I’m doing. Because I can.
This one lives behind the hospital, just off the parking lot. It’s a lovely yellow color with green plug things, but the color version just didn’t work for me, so I posted a monotone version. So use your imagination.
Ambulance
Aug 26th
Continuing my emergency vehicle theme from yesterday, here’s an ambulance from the hospital. It’s one of those vehicles we’re thankful is around when we need them (and those their accompanying workers), but we hope we never have reason to need.
Volunteer Service With Pride
Aug 25th
Today’s photos is of the fire trucks that was parked outside the fire department the other day. It’s very pretty. And I have a soft spot for firefighters, since both of my brothers served at this very department when they were younger and firefighters rock in general.
Eye In The Sky
Aug 24th
The sky the other afternoon had some nifty clouds, and through part of the clouds the sun was shining through all pretty like. Taking a picture of it at a normal exposure just caught a bright spot of white, so I turned down the exposure down completely to let less light through and took the picture that way. The results are above. The sun shows, the clouds show, the sky… eh, not so much.
Pole Position
Aug 23rd
Today’s photo is from the completely random files of my brain (and camera). It’s a utility (telephone?) pole with lots of stuff which I’m sure serve very important utility (telephone?) functions. Don’t ask me what those functions may be.
Silver Creek At Silver Falls State Park
