In Portland’s West Hills, A new tower has been going up in Council Crest Park to replace an older one that has outlived its useful life. It is always an awesome sight to look all the way up a radio tower from the bottom. It’s even nicer when one of nature’s towers is also present [...]
In Magnuson Park in Seattle, there is open space, play fields, trees, beaches, and a variety of other features. One unexpected feature is an art project known as The Fin Project: From Swords into Plowshares. The project takes wings from old military aircraft, and has them buried in the ground in some random patterns in [...]
Some times the fog just hangs in the trees, and at other times the fog comes on the feet of the catfish. I had been enjoying a ferry trip through the fog one morning, when the fog didn’t so much as lift as it hid behind the island. In this case, the fog hides behind [...]
It has to be relaxing — what else could it be. Join me for a sit on the beach. The surf is washing onto the beach just South of Seaside Oregon, the driftwood and the seagulls sit nearby opn a cloudy Winter day. Tillamook Head towers into the background — can another storm be just [...]
I pass this place almost every day, and it is a frequent occurrence in the Winter to see the fog just sitting up in the trees up in the hills. It was actually thicker than this when I went by today, but its always in the same place. It all depends on where on the [...]
A building from the 1910′s in Downtown Portland stands tall, but a newer building from the 1970′s stands a bit taller in this photo.

So I’m sitting here trying to decide what photo to put up today, and nothing is clicking. But, all of a sudden, something gives me the idea that Mt Hood is always a good choice for a picture. Of course it is. This one was taken just before sunrise on a cold winter morning. Yes, [...]
If the Fremont Bridge is not the largest bridge in Portland, then it is certainly the most impressive. This wintertime shot in the rain shows Portland’s industrial area below and the downtown area above. The bridge carries I-405 across the Willamette River and into Downtown Portland on it’s two levels, with the US and Oregon [...]
A lone young bald eagle watches the world go by along the Canada-US border. No prey will go unchallenged as it crosses Boundary Bay. Eventually, it did fly over to where some sea gulls were fighting over some discarded fish. Photo: Taken in Blaine Marina Park in Blaine Washington on 26 June 2008.
We are standing in a quiet rural area near Blaine Washington looking at relics of a fishing operation long gone. In the distance, across Boundary Bay, the growing city of White Rock BC rises from the hill. Photo: Taken near Blaine on 26 June 2008.
