So… a sunset. I took this from the corner of 3rd Ave. and Fern Ridge Rd., looking west. Well, duh. Where else would one look to see the sun set. I wouldn’t know west from east (or any other direction for that matter), but the bright yellow glowing ball and the pretty colors in the [...]

I took this a few nights ago in the parking lot of Santiam Hospital on 10th Ave. It was pretty foggy that night, and gave the scene kind of an old film noir effect.

Merry Christmas Eve, to all who celebrate the day. I spotted this lighted Christmas decoration along Ida St., and thought it would be fitting to post today.

This is adorable — someone actually put a boat in their front yard as part of their holiday display. Frosty the Snowman has a fishing pole and presents loaded in the boat. I love it. Makes me want to buy a boat so I can copy it.
I spotted this just off of 3rd Ave.

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 [...]

This somewhat craptacular photo is of Stayton’s Christmas tree on 3rd Ave. It’s a pretty little thing, I have to say. The tree, not the photo. I might have mentioned the photo is craptacular. Click on it to see it in greater splotchy detail.
I’m happy it’s not a leaner like last year’s tree, although that [...]

The Wilco Farmers store on 1st Ave. is dressed up for the holidays. They were the first business or house I saw lit up — I took this on the 12th.

If you haven’t heard, the FCC shut down KENC Community Radio due to what they say are transmission violations. Oregonlive has an [...]

Look, ma, no autumn leaves today! Wow! But it is another sunset, which is another frequent subject around here. But I like sunsets! And autumn leaves! So there!
Sorry, I seem to have reverted to being an 8-year-old child. I do apologize.
Anyway, I took this last night from the parking lot next to the McDonald’s on [...]

Guest photographer Hugo sent in today’s photo of a sunset from a few nights ago, taken at Walter Wirth Lake in nearby Salem. It’s simply gorgeous. Tomorrow I’ll post another photo Hugo took at the lake, this time of the sunrise and a “star.”

I didn’t set out to take another sunset photo, but this was staring me in the face two nights ago, so I had to take the picture.
Speaking of that, I am very short on photos at the moment, so if anyone is interested in submitting one or more guest photos, that would be more than [...]

I took this shot a couple of days ago. There wasn’t really a visible sunset because it was so cloudy, but bits of it showed through all the dark blue sky. This is one of those bits.

Today is the monthly City Daily Photo theme day, and our theme is “contrast.” I have to confess I didn’t have a clue what to post… I thought literal contrast, conceptual contrast, and in the end I went with a photo I took about a week ago of a hazy sunset due to some wildfires [...]

I am definitely on a sunset kick lately. If that’s not your thing, I apologize. If it is your thing, then I’m glad you’re here.
I took this silhouette of some queen anne’s lace flowers near the corner of 3rd Ave. and Fern Ridge Rd. a couple of nights ago.

I know this is the third sunset photo I’ve posted in less than a week, but sky was absolutely gorgeous last night, and I couldn’t pass it up. For whatever reason, there was a lot of haze in the air, and it made everything very orange, and the sun was just popping. I may post [...]

I posted a photo yesterday of the sunset a couple of nights ago, and decided to do it again today. This one was taken from the cemetery on 3rd Ave.
