Michael James
Capturing the soul of one of Portland’s oldest bars, The White Eagle- Mike practices a little “blues face” before his show.
Weigh Station
This was a scale to weigh the grain before loading it all into the elevator, I believe.
Dig that wrought iron filigree!
Just dig it.
Giant Relic
Like a monument to simpler times, this grain elevator towers over it’s surroundings.
Silent Observer
Grain elevators have faces, even if they don’t have mouths.
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.
