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 constructed [...]
Here’s a random photo of a random sidewalk on a random part of 3rd Ave. in the historic downtown area of Stayton. I took this between Jensen-Kreitzer and the Friends of the Library Used Book Store.
The weather here has been pretty mild this month. I took the above photo off of Fern Ridge Rd., looking east at a shed in a fairly large field. It doesn’t look like the middle of winter to me… not that I’m complaining. Though with this weather, our snow pack on the mountains hasn’t been [...]
This is my last water-oriented photo for now (see also the last several days). This is a view of the lovely Salem Ditch, looking from 3rd Ave. to the bridge on 4th Ave. If you look closely (click on the image to see it larger), there is a person standing on the far bridge, looking [...]
I’ve apparently decided to just post a bunch of water-oriented photos in a row (see the last handful of days). It wasn’t intentional, but let’s pretend I planned it all out as a theme. I’m not in a rut, it’s on purpose!
This is another shot of the lovely Salem Ditch, taken next to one of [...]
This is part of a man-made waterway called Salem Ditch, where it runs between Harold’s Jewelers and Cartwright’s Music, along 3rd Ave. The bridge in the background is part of 4th Ave. I may have posted a similar view of this part of the ditch in the past, but heck if I can remember.
If I [...]
In a probably successful effort to drive a theme into the ground, I am presenting the third day in a row of clouds reflected in my favorite power canal off of the south end of town, along Water St. (see also: Ye Olde Barn and Natural Symmetry). This is the last photo of the power [...]
I posted a photo of this nifty red barn back on January 2nd. When I took that photo, the sky was bright blue. I figured it might be interesting to take basically the same shot with a cloudy sky, just for grins and giggles. The clouds make a big difference, I think.
Back to my favorite power canal today. I had to — the reflection of the clouds and blue sky were too pretty to do anything else. This view is looking towards the old power company building (that brownish thing in the middle of the photo) on Water St. I’ll probably post another photo tomorrow of [...]
Guest photographer Jon Goodman provided today’s photo. His description (and question):
I believe these are piers from the old bridge that crossed the Santiam, south of town. Replaced in the mid sixties? Maybe someone a little older than me could give a more exact date.
I’m curious, as well. I’ve never seen this area before. Thanks, Jon, [...]
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 and [...]
I took this on Stayton-Scio Rd., facing west into the sun. It ended up over exposed in the light spots and too dark in the darker spots (which I expected), so I jacked up the contrast in Lightroom and converted it to black and white to try to give it a mood. Yay.
One might suspect, judging by today’s photo, that I am out of even vaguely interesting photos to post. One might be right. Instead, I’m posting this photo I took through a fence when I was at the Santiam Senior Center grand opening last week. It looks towards some of the property and equipment owned by [...]
From the random file comes this photo of a hearse parked outside of Weddle Funeral Home on 3rd Ave. Because it was there. A hearse is an interesting looking vehicle… very distinctive. Practical yet somehow stylish. Still, I’d prefer not to ride in one until much, much later.
This gravel road lives along Kingston-Jordan Rd., just barely outside of town. It’s on private property so I couldn’t explore it, but I liked the view of it from the main road.
Here’s the Google Maps Street View, if you’re interested.
