Located in Oregon, USA, featuring Stayton and other nearby towns in the Willamette Valley.
Silent Night
These photos are from a lovely little window display at Harold’s Jewelers on 3rd Ave.
I want to thank the folks who walked by while I was taking photos for not thinking I was robbing the place. Which would be stupid of me, anyway, since Harold’s is right across the street from the police station. Not that I was thinking of it. I don’t know why I even brought it up. My point is it probably looked odd with me standing there right up against the window, taking pictures. Not that my looking odd is anything unusual… which I guess makes it not so odd that I was looking odd.
Yeah. I think I’ll stop typing now.

Nothing Is Free

I took this photo of a sign in the window of the Key Bank on 1st Ave. two or three weeks ago, then promptly forgot about. But then I remembered, so here it is. Now, this sign can be read two ways. One, they’re offering absolutely nothing with a new account (unless it’s invisible). That’s More >

From the truly random file comes today’s photo of some writing on a newspaper recycling bin at the Circle K on E. Washington St. I don’t know why I’m posting it, but I am.
Windows

I happened by a laundromat near the south end of 1st Ave. last night, so I took a picture through the window. After I started this post, I realized I’d taken a very, very similar shot (and even processed it pretty much the same way) back in 2008. I guess my brain decided doing a More >

I took this photo one night a week or two ago of a window display at Cartwright’s Music Repair Shop on 3rd Ave. Guitars are beautiful creatures.
Wear The Rainbow

These colorful t-shirts were for sale outside of the Jensen-Kreitzer Clothing store in downtown Stayton on 3rd Ave. In other news, don’t miss the 10th Annual Garden Tour tomorrow (the 27th) from noon to 5pm to benefit the restoration of the Brown House. Visit the Brown House’s web site for more information. I don’t think More >
Wilco & Farmers

Wilco Farmers is an agricultural store, with a lot of area farms for customers. I thought the truck sitting in front of it, piled up with hay bales, was appropriate. I was going to wax eloquently about American farms and so on, but my ability to be eloquent is offline today. Insert your own thoughts More >
Rust & Decay

This door and wall are part of the building comprising the old Porter TV & Appliance building on the corner of 3rd Ave. and Marion St. The store hasn’t been open for many years, and shows a lot of wear. Still, there’s something about that building I adore. I bought my first 45rpm record in More >
Welcome

Yesterday, I posted a photo taken on 3rd Ave. looking south, so for no reason whatsoever, here’s a photo taken in basically the same spot, looking the other direction. This time it’s looking up at some businesses instead of the sidewalk, so I suppose that’s different. For a historical view of things, these buildings were More >
A Dark Day in the Donut Drive-Thru
about 7 months ago - 4 comments
Guest photographer Hugo sent in today’s interesting photo and information: This isn’t a great picture, and possibly not a very interesting one either. But, if you happen to be waiting in line for your donuts on 08/21/2017 a little after 10 A.M. you will notice that things seem “odd”. The day will turn to night More >
Merry Christmas!

I hope everyone is having a great day today, whether you celebrate Christmas or are just enjoying the start of the weekend. Take care, all, and stay safe out there. Meanwhile, I’ll be in mourning because I won’t be able to post anymore Christmas-oriented photos until next December.
