Creekside

Friday, March 12th, 2010

Today’s photo is a view of the little stream (a man-made waterway called the Salem Ditch) which runs next to the Public Library on 1st Ave. As I’ve probably said before, it’s really lovely, and not at all ditch-like.

Coast Road Trip, Part 6

Sunday, February 21st, 2010

Here’s another installment from my central Oregon coast road trip. I’ve decided to make it an even week, so there will be another post tomorrow.
These shots of waves was taken a bit south of Depoe Bay, if I remember correctly. Click on the photo at right to make it bigger. I had never taken photos [...]

Coast Road Trip, Part 5

Saturday, February 20th, 2010

Today’s photo from my road trip to the central Oregon coast shows some fishing boats in the marina at Yaquina Bay in Newport. We’d come down there to see some sea lions (say that three times fast), but they were all hanging out back behind a building. Darn them. The photo at right is of [...]

Coast Road Trip, Part 4

Friday, February 19th, 2010

And here we are at part four of my mid-Oregon coast road trip (see also: Yaquina Bay Bridge, a Newport beach at sunset, and a pier at Siletz Bay, this time stopping in at Depoe Bay. I keep wanting to spell that as Depot, which is so very wrong. I shall try to refrain.
This is [...]

Coast Road Trip, Part 3

Thursday, February 18th, 2010

Today is the third part of my trip to the central Oregon coast (see also: part 1 – Yaquina Bay Bridge, and part 2 – Newport beach at sunset).
This is a small pier behind Mo’s Restaurant in Lincoln City. I’m a bit confused as to geography, but I think this is the edge of Siletz [...]

Momentary Pause

Thursday, January 28th, 2010

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 [...]

That Bit Over There

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

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 [...]

Not Bad For A Ditch

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010

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 [...]

Above & Below

Monday, January 25th, 2010

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 [...]

Ye Olde Barn

Sunday, January 24th, 2010

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.

Natural Symmetry

Saturday, January 23rd, 2010

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 [...]

Vague Indications

Wednesday, January 20th, 2010

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.

Down By The River

Saturday, January 16th, 2010

It wasn’t the best day for it, since the weather was pretty drab, but I stopped and took some photos of the Santiam River from the bridge a couple of days ago, where it passes under Stayton-Scio Road. This is the view facing east. I wanted to get a shot facing west, but there were [...]

Fog In The Wilderness

Saturday, January 9th, 2010

Guest photographer John Brandt took this beautiful photo of Wilderness Park, as seen from across the creek (otherwise known as Salem Ditch) at Pioneer Park. It looks mystical. Thanks, John.

Caught In The In Between

Saturday, January 2nd, 2010

This cool building sits at the edge of the power canal just off of 4th Ave. I don’t know what it is, but it’s on City property, I think. Anyone out there know what this building is or the purpose it serves? It looks like an old barn to me.
By the way, sorry about yesterday’s [...]
