Historic Patterson Bridge - Gold Beach

The Historic Patterson Bridge is located in Gold Beach on the Southern Oregon Coast, and the Pacific Northwest. It is named after Isaac (Ike) Patterson, the 18th Governor of Oregon from 1927 to 1929.

He died from Pneumonia, while in office in December of 1929. The Patterson Bridge was completed in 1932. It was constructed in the Art Deco Motif. This is obvious in the details of the bridge.

The sun is starting to set in the Pacific and is casting a golden hue on the bridge. The moon is present in the capture. The seagulls (Western Gulls) are gathered on the grass waiting for handouts.

The bridge is located on the famous Rogue River. The Patterson Bridge was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on August 5, 2005.

The image was converted to High Dynamic Range Photography (HDR) through special software.

Jackson Tower Portland Oregon

The Jackson Tower is a historic 12 story office building in downtown Portland,Oregon. It was built in 1912 and was formerly The Oregon Journal Newspaper Building.

It is a structure that is a bit amiss among the modern buildings that surround it. When it was built the builders used glazed terra cotta as the exterior sheathing over the building's steel frame.

The terra-cotta glaze contributed to keeping the building fireproof through the years. Over the years, the interior has been renovated and has been turned into office space.

Old Wheeler Hotel

This is the "Old Wheeler Hotel" in Wheeler on the Oregon Coast. It is a cool and nostalgic hotel built in 1920.

It is a restored historic inn that is right across the street, and has a view, of Nehalem Bay. That in itself is worth the price of admission.

The Wheeler Hotel has just eight rooms but, they are filled with cool antiques. In the 1940's the hotel was under different ownership. It was actually operating as a facility for the treatment of arthritis.

Well, that's changed. In the 90's, a couple just passing through Wheeler ended up buying the hotel and refurbishing it into a charmer. However, the hotel was sold again in 2009 and they continued to refurbish the hotel.

Woolen Mill Art

The is the old Thomas Kay Woolen Mill  ( Mission Mills) in Salem, Oregon. It is an historic textile mill that goes back to 1898.

The mill has long ceased production. However, this is a display they had setup for tours of the mill.

Luckily, I was able to capture this scene when I did. Since, the machinery has been taken out and the whole area has been converted into a meeting room.

Such is life! The woolen mill produced fine wool blankets and fabrics for 70 years. The mill transformed raw Willamette Valley wool into fabric and blankets which were well known throughout the West. It was the only woolen mill museum west of Missouri.

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!

Quebec City

Years ago My wife and I visited Quebec City. We stayed in the Le Chateau Frontenac Hotel.

Our whole experience, while in the city was remarkable. We toured mainly, the old and historic parts of the city, realizing that it was what Canada was all about.

In those days, all I had was a Nikon film camera...digital was not quite out yet. Later, I had the film transferred to a CD which I have had all these years.

I have converted the images to digital paintings. In the first image, I photographed an artist painting the Chateau Frontenac Hotel scene. She thought it was funny that I wanted to capture her also in that scene.

In the second image here, I captured the Chateau Frontenac from the "La Vielle Maison Du spaghetti" site with its brightly colored yellow umbrellas. The third image I captured the Funicular that takes you to the upper and lower parts of Quebec City.

If you would like to explore the image further, there is a link under each!
