Little Chosin Bridge At Mingus Park

This beautiful bridge celebrates the City of Coos Bay, Oregon's relationship with her sister city Choshi, Japan!

It also the secondary centerpiece of a small but gorgeous Japanese garden located in Coos Bay's Mingus Park...not far from downtown.

This image has been converted to High Dynamic Range (HDR) by combining three different exposures to give the image more detail and color. A special texture effect was added for a unique final image!

Mall Art

The Old Town Mall is located in Bandon, Oregon on the Southern Oregon Coast. It is twenty miles south of Coos Bay.

This capture was made on a Sunday morning when nobody was around. The sun is starting to rise.

The formation of the clouds in the sky and, the sunlight are giving the sky a real different and interesting look. Bandon is one of the neater beach towns on the Oregon Coast.

It has great shopping and restaurants. It has a charm of its own and, lacks the "carnival" atmosphere that some other beach towns have.

Old 104 Steam Locomotive

This old Number 104 steam engine locomotive sits on a track next to the waterfront park in Coos Bay, Oregon.

It was decided to capture Old 104 in black and white as it brings out more contrast in the photo. It is a grand old locomotive ready to be cherished by all!

A steam engine locomotive produces power through a steam engine. They are fueled by burning combustible material, typically coal, wood, or oil to produce steam in a boiler.

Tugboat Titan

Coos Bay on the Southern Oregon Coast is home to the "Titan" which is a sea going tugboat. It is moored on the Coos River.

Sea going tugs, like the Titan are much bigger than river tugs because they must go out into the Pacific Ocean and maneuver large ships...usually pushing them into harbors.

Shore Acres Xmas Lights

One of a kind Christmas Greeting Cards of Shore Acres Park Lights on the Oregon Coast! (see below)

Shore Acres State Park is a very unusual state park south of Coos Bay on the Oregon Coast. Rather than just picnic benches and horseshoe pits, the Park has evolved into a "garden for all seasons"...a variety of beautiful plants and flowers that bloom according to the season.

And, this in itself is an excellent reason to visit these gorgeous grounds. However, a fantastic tradition came about in 1987 when the Friends of Shore Acres Park strung a few lights in anticipation of the Christmas Holidays.

In its debut this drew some nine thousand folks to the park. Today, some 325,000 lights adore the landscape and draw some 50,000 visitors to these beautiful gardens during the holidays.

The Flowers Along The Fence

Beautiful flowers and artichokes are placed playfully up against a rustic fence. Pick the artichokes and make a dip. Gather the flowers and make a bouquet!

The setting is on the Central Oregon Coast. Each year a flower and garden show is featured in different locations up and down the coast.

This particular show, where the below image was captured is just north of Waldport. It is called the Secret Garden Tour.

The event is a fundraiser for Samaritan House Homeless Family Shelter...the only homeless family shelter on the Central Oregon coast between Tillamook and Coos Bay. Their mission is an excellent one: to shelter, educate and guide homeless families with children toward independent living!

The image has been converted to a digital painting that I hope you enjoy. If you would like to explore this image, or others, please see links below!
