Seahorse Wall Art

This cool Seahorse serves as a carved wooden figurehead on the front of a rather large  boat that is moored on the Siuslaw River in Florence on the Oregon Coast.

Carved decorations on boats are rather a thing of the past. And, this Seahorse art is rather unique.

The origins of the figurehead and other forms of ship decoration goes back thousands of years. It was common among seafaring civilizations of the old world.

Egyptian figureheads, for example date back to around 3000 BC. This image has been converted to a digital painting.

Heceta Head Lighthouse

The lighthouse is located on the Oregon Coast between Yachats and Florence, Oregon. Off to the right, with the red roof is the old Lighthouse Keeper's Home, which since has been converted into a Bed and Breakfast.

For over 100 years, the Heceta Head Lighthouse has assisted ships and boats of all sizes to navigate the Pacific Ocean's treacherous currents. Heceta Head is named after Don Bruno de Heceta, a Spanish Explorer who in 1775 sailed up the West Coast.

Florence Floral


More beautiful flowers than you can shake a stem at...floral on the banks of the Siuslaw River in Florence on the Oregon Coast!

This setting is next to a coffee shop in Old Town Florence. Unfortunately, the floral only lasts so long and I was able to capture it with a camera and preserve it for a while.

It's a fantastic view! Relax and let yourself go among the flowers and the river. If you would like to explore this image, or others, please see links below!

1931 Model A Ford

To me anyway, it never made sense why Model A's followed Model T's..."A" is the first letter of the alphabet.  But with heated competition from GM, Henry couldn't sit on his laurels...he had to make some improvements over the Model T real fast or, lose his place in the industry. So came the "A"!

One of the biggest improvement over the T was an electric starter. You didn't have to get out there in the rain and crank anymore. However, there were a lot more things done other than a electric starter.

One of my passions is old, classic cars and this car brings on that passion! I hope you are passionate about nostalgic cars, also!

This is one cool old car. Although, I don't think Henry envisioned the tires or, front suspension depicted here.

I captured this Model A Ford at a car show in Newport, Oregon and converted it to High Dynamic Range Photography (HDR). Newport doesn't have a ton of classic automobiles hanging around town however, the surrounding areas like Florence, which is fifty miles south on the Oregon Coast does.
