Yaquina Head Lighthouse Art

The Yaquina Head Lighthouse (Newport, Oregon) is one of the most visited lighthouses on the  Oregon Coast!  It jets out about a mile from the main shoreline and can easily be seen from out at sea.

It was built in 1872 to replace a lighthouse that was only three miles away. The lighthouse stands ninety three feet tall and is the tallest lighthouse in Oregon.

A tour was made of the home and it is absolutely gorgeous! In 1974 the Moyer House was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. This image has been processed into a High Dynamic Range photo and then converted to a digital painting.

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.

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!

The Tower Bridge In Old Sacramento

The Tower Bridge is in Old Town Sacramento, California...a draw bridge that spans the Sacramento River. It's just one of those cool, nostalgic bridges that you run across ever so often.

In years past, the bridge was painted sort of a silver aluminum color. Folks complained about the glare off of the paint.

In 1976 the Tower Bridge was painted a yellow-ochre color to match the gold leafed cupola on the nearby State Capitol. As years past, the color didn't hold and a new color scheme was voted in.

They voted in an "all gold" color. In 1982, the Tower Bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places.

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 the image!

Portland Union Train Station

The Portland Union Train Station has been around since 1890. It would have been the largest train station in the country if they had stayed with the original design but, it was downsized. 

The station is located in China Town and is right next to the Broadway Bridge.  The Union Station with its cool architecture, 50-foot-tall clock tower and, “Go By Train” neon sign, is a Portland landmark.

Of course, rail transportation is not as popular as it once was but, it is still a cool way to travel!

In 1975. the station was placed on the National Register of Historic Places.
