Fishing Fleet In Yaquina Bay

Newport, Oregon on the Central Coast boosts the largest fishing fleet in Oregon. There is easy access and, a fairly tame bar to cross to get to the Pacific Ocean. 

Good fishing and crabbing makes for an excellent port for the fisherman. Yaquina Bay and the Yaquina Bay Bridge are in the background. 

You can tell by the static crab rings on the boats that crabbing is at a standstill and many boats are in port.

This is a photograph that I have added texture to give a unique painting effect.

Garibaldi

Garibaldi is on the Oregon Coast and, is a small fishing village nestled against a hillside at the northern end of Tillamook Bay.

Chelsea Rose And The Tall Ships

The Chelsea Rose, a permanently docked old fishing boat is over 100 years old. It is moored on Dock 5 on Newport, Oregon's Historic Bayfront. For years, folks from all over have been buying freshly caught fish and crabs right off the Chelsea Rose.

The boat needs extensive repairs, to the point that they are probably going to send her to the boat graveyard. When the time comes it will sadden many because it has been a landmark on the bay front for so many years.

Next to the Chelsea are two visiting Tall Ships..."Lady Washington" and the "Hawaiian Chieftain".

The "Lotus" is a yacht moored in South Lake Union in Seattle, Washington. The Lotus was built in 1909 and was the largest private yacht on the West Coast at that time.

Aquero

 The "Aguero" 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!

The "Aguero" is moored in Yaquina Bay. Newport boosts the largest fishing fleet in Oregon and possibly the West Coast. This scene features a heavy fog early in the morning.

 This capture has been converted to digital painting. However, it's not that simple! Three different exposures were taken of the Aguero, combined to bring out all the dynamics of the scene...combining light, color to make the image more vibrant. Then the results were turned into a digital painting.

Crab Trap Art

This nostalgic fishing boat is getting ready to go out into the Pacific and catch some Dungeness Crab! The crab rings (traps) are sitting out on the deck.

They are ready to be thrown overboard, once they are out in the ocean and, have found the right place to catch crab...usually close to shore.

The Crabbers use fish carcasses to lure crabs into the traps. Dungeness Crab is one of the best eating in the world.

The setting is in Newport on the Central Oregon Coast. This image has been converted to a digital painting.

Restaurant Art

Newport on the Central Oregon Coast has some very cool restaurants. Not just for just great eating but, for being architecturally pleasing and having quaint decor.

Two of these fine restaurants are "Ocean Bleu At Gino's" and "Nana's Irish Pub". I thought it would be interesting to convert them to Digital Impressionist paintings.

Gino's was captured way after everyone had gone home on a busy Sunday night. People were sitting at these outside tables only hours earlier.

Nana's was captured early on a dark Sunday morning.

Restaurant Art (LINK)"Ocean Bleu At Gino's" is a restaurant located on the Historic Bay Front in Newport on the Oregon Coast. It is a combo restaurant and seafood market. It is a colorful place to say the least with all the buoys, signs and flags. In short, it's a beachy place! And, features great seafood. The place is what the beach is all about! Gino's was captured just at the end of "Blue Hour".

Restaurant Art (LINK) Nana's Irish Pub is one of the most popular restaurants in the quaint Nye Beach District in Newport! They have corned beef to die for...especially when they put it on a Reuben! They don't do fat! It's a cool place to eat and drink. They have an outside area that is very popular in nice weather that you can people watch from!

Floral Art

The English Rose is one of the most vibrant flowers in the world...full of life...full of color! And, they flourish beautifully where I live in the Pacific Northwest!

Another name for the English Rose is the Austin rose or, David Austin. They were introduced by him in 1969. His goal was to create rose bushes that would combine the best properties of the old roses, introduced before 1867, and  modern roses, such as Grandifloras.

To accomplish this, Austin crossed the old roses with some of the modern roses to gain a repeat flowering rose bush that also retained the wonderful strong fragrances of the old roses.

Pullman Car Art

Virginia City, Nevada is home to this elegant Pullman Car. It sits out below the main street of town.

There is also a small collection of cabooses, on display along with this Car. The door on the back says "Private". Just a guess, but maybe it belonged to a railroad magnate at one time.

"Pullman Cars" are railroad sleeping cars and, are named after George Pullman who founded the company that built them, starting in the eighteen hundreds.

Tractor Art

This old tractor sits abandoned on a tulip farm in Oregon. It used to be the main work horse on the farm but, not anymore!

It's been replaced by a younger fancier tractor to work the soil and plant the tulips. And then, there is this other cool "pink" tractor, out in the middle of the field that gets more attention photo wise whereas, this one gets neglected.

However, there is a nostalgic look to this old tractor that just had to be captured. This image has been converted to a digital painting!

"Buy Your Crab Here!"  Chances are the fishing/crab boats are just returning after a night's fishing and crabbing off the Oregon Coast.

The scene is Dock 5 in Yaquina Bay, located in Newport on the Oregon Coast. Newport has the largest fishing fleet in Oregon.

Plenty of room to moor and, a rather safe bar to cross into the Pacific Ocean makes fishing and crabbing more feasible than many other locations on the Oregon Coast.

Sylvia (LINK) In February of 2014, the F/V (Fishing Vessel) Sylvia was at sea and reported taking on water, that her pumps could not stay ahead of the leak. Bad news! The Coast Guard went to the rescue. However, the crew of the Sylvia were able to fire up a third pump which helped immensely. The Coast Guard installed another pump yet, got the water level down and patched the leak. This capture has been converted to a paintography image.

Wild Rose Art

The bank along the Yaquina Bay in Newport, Oregon is lined with gorgeous wild roses in the springtime. In the background, there is a combination of pleasure boats and fishing boats and, the beautiful Yaquina Bay Bridge.

Off to the right, are some fishermen headed for the Pacific Ocean to try and catch a halibut. The day is overcast and it is about ready to pour.

I converted the capture to High Dynamic Range Photography (HDR) and then applied a special texture called "Image Luminance". It really added a "pop" to the rose bushes.

What is so special is the combination of a nautical scene with a floral scene!
