The Bay

The Bay..."Yaquina Bay" is located in Newport on the Central Oregon Coast. It is home to Oregon's and, probably the west coast's largest fishing fleet.

The fishing boats and the sail boat are caught in an early morning fog with just enough sun peaking through to make for a majestic scene.

It is a short distance to the jetty and to the Pacific Ocean. Commercial fishing and crabbing can be lucrative. However, it is a hard life. But, it is in the blood!

Part of the famous Yaquina Bay Bridge is in the background!

I processed the original capture into a HDR ( High Dynamic Range) photo by combining three different exposures. Next, I converted the image into an unusual digital painting.

Please enjoy!

Hobo Junction (Link) "Hobo Junction" is on Long Beach, Peninsula in Washington State and features tons of nautical decor. And, probably more in one place than you will ever experience in other places like them combined!.

A Tree By The Sea (Link) This is a capture of an unusual tree located on a beach in Crescent City, California next to the Battery Point Light, which is a historic lighthouse and was one of the first lighthouses on the California coast. The wind from the Pacific Ocean has formed this tree into an abstract form. Because of the wind, the tree is growing in many directions and, doubling up into itself. Sometimes nature's art can be extremely well done and cannot be duplicated by anyone.

In The Fog (Link) Trinidad Head Lighthouse is located on the Northern California Coast...of course in the town of Trinidad! The capture was made on a rather foggy day. The original lighthouse was built in 1871 and, consisted of a small two-story light tower, a Victorian style residence, and a barn.

1912 Indian (Link)  This is a cool 1912, and classic Indian Motorcycle! They started manufacturing the bike back in 1901. Maybe you remember the movie "The World Fastest Indian" starring Anthony Hopkins. In the early 1900s the Indian Motorcycle was the largest produced motorcycle in the world.

Red Hot Ford (Link) This is just a beautiful circa 1934 Ford hot rod sitting on a side street in a town in Oregon! Actually, it might be more accurate to say an antique car that has been restored to original condition.

The "Aguero"  (Link) is a fishing vessel, located in Newport on the Oregon Coast. Aquero, in Spanish translates to "omen"!  One meaning is that it is a bad omen for fishermen to learn how to swim?? However, we can assume that the name "Aguero" on this vessel is intended to be a "good omen", whether you can swim or not!

Garden Fun (Link) The garden scene is located on a peony farm in Salem, Oregon. It is in the middle of a beautiful rural area surrounded by vegetable and other types of farms. Although peonies are the main growth many different types of flowers are intermingled.

Sidewalk Floral (Link) There is this cool little town in Oregon, not far from I5 and Eugene that is a must to visit. The name of the town is Brownsville. It is where the movie "Stand By Me" was filmed. It's a small town, settled in 1846. It is a place of beautiful  classic homes with old fashioned front porches and picket fences. The town also features unique and vintage storefronts.

Mater Look Alike (Link) This look alike appeared in a car show. Naturally, it was a hit! Pretty authentic-looking...bad paint job, eyes, buck teeth!

Tony's Crabshack (Link) Bandon,Oregon is home to Tony's Crabshack on the Oregon Coast! It's small, crowded and has seafood to die for! And, it is close to the Pacific Ocean and the beach! Tony's is the "beach"! This capture was made on a very early Sunday morning...no tourist around. The image was converted into High Dynamic Range Photography or, HDR. If you are looking for a great Seafood Cocktail, Tony's has great choices: Ocean Shrimp, Dungeness Crab, Oyster, Crab and Shrimp Combo and Wild Prawn. For soups they have fresh New England Style Clam Chowder or, Cioppino to die for. Of course, they have an array of delectable seafood salads. And, then there are the Seafood Pastas like: Smoked Salmon Alfredo, Scampi Montezuma and Steamer Clams or Prawns. It doesn't end here either there is also: Fish Tacos, Local Rock Cod, Corn Tortilla, Shredded Cabbage and Pico de Gallo, Steamer Clams, Whole Cooked Dungeness Crab, Cooked Maine Lobster, Dungeness Crab Cakes, Seafood Combos, Scampi, Grilled Sockeye Salmon and Grilled Pacific Halibut. Are you hungry yet!

Old 104 (Link) 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.

Old Rusty (Link) Just an old rusty Chevy pickup truck sitting out in a field, that nobody seems to care about! It has seen better days but, with a little bit of tender loving care could be like new! It is believed this is a circa 1947-49 Chevrolet Pickup. There were just subtle differences between years for this pickup. When photographed, there were many parts missing on the truck. So, good-luck identifying the year! Three different exposures were made of the Chevy Pickup. They were then combined and converted into High Dynamic Range Photography (HDR).

Antique Truck Art

This vintage, antique truck was found on a farm in Molalla, Oregon. It was raining and, as you can see there is no cab over the truck.

And, it has probably been sitting in the same spot for years. It definitely has a nostalgic feel!

Three different exposures were taken of the truck and, combined in special software, to end up giving it more dynamic feel...HDR (High Dynamic Range Photography).

Foxglove Wall Art

These particular Foxgloves came right out of our garden. And, they were very inspiration in creating this art.

The original color of the Foxgloves were a vibrant pink. The photo post processing brought out an even more vibrant color.

Foxgloves are perennial flowers/plants. They seem to grow heartier and heartier each year after they are planted. There are some twenty species of Foxgloves to enjoy!

Buoys And Crab Ring Wall Art

Buoys intermingled with crab rings! The setting is a bay front on the Oregon Coast early in the morning with the minimum of sunlight.

Fishing boats are preparing to go out and set the crab rings not far from shore in the Pacific. It's a lot of hard work throwing the crab rings overboard and retrieving them hours later.

Every crabber has there own distinctive buoys so that they know who's is what!

Little Red Boat!

Newport, Oregon is home to the largest fishing fleet on the Oregon Coast. A fairly easy bar to cross, plus, crabbing and the fishing are among the most plentiful on the coast.

The "Little Red Boat" stood out at the Pier because of its bright red paint. And, it was one of the smallest boats at the dock.

I added texture to give it a painting-like effect.

Impatiens

Impatiens are among the most beautiful flowers in the world!  They make for an outstanding border especially for Begonias.

They excel for shade gardens when you want vibrant color all season long. The plants bloom in just about every color. 

You can grow them in containers or, in the ground. If conditions are right you can grow impatiens as an indoor plant.

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

Field Of Tulips

One of the best tulip farms is in Woodburn, Oregon. It is the Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm and encompasses some forty acres of stunning and beautiful tulips.

They feature some 117 varieties of tulips. And, it seems that each tulip is a different color. Of course, that is an illusion.

What is not an illusion is this capture. It was made fairly close to the ground and it seems like there are tulips as far as the eye can see. 

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!
