Cathedral Two

I love these old wooden grain elevators. Coupled with the wild cloud formation, it looks downright heroic.

The Road to Town

The roads often seemed to head towards Mt. Hood. I suppose that was the landmark that pointed to “town” aka Portland, OR. The land-surfing house is in the foreground.

Screen Door

This old screen door looks like it’s seen some rough days. Someone slammed the door a lot.

Desolation Plain

This old pile of trash in the back yard of the house in Land Surfing (#36) looked so well-placed like it was in a museum exhibit or art installation.

I’m sure that was a coincidence, just like the hawk that hung in the air for a moment while I snapped this photo.

I love these moments.

Not entirely sure what the story is, here. It looks like someone built a building next to a wash, ravine, or small canyon. Weather did what it all too often does so well, and caught them by surprise one day. As you can see, the back of the building has fallen into the ravine.

Cold Front

Near the old Shoe-Tree sat this imposing old building. We didn’t go much closer to it than this.

Of Course, Of Course

What a great moment:

This lonely old horse was just hanging out in front of the the old cabin, and was really more interested in smelling my camera more than anything. Pretty thin and looking fairly bored, it certainly enjoyed the modest company that we afforded it- but a horse sniffing the lens just isn’t as interesting as it could be…

Then Jayda stood nearby and offered the hungry thing a carrot. Here’s that moment.
