Made it to Oregon…just barely

Old is everywhere…
Around Shaniko were around 50 old 40-50’s era cars just strewn around the fields.
Barn find…
This old barn was FILLED with old autos slowly fading away…

I had to work very hard for this image–due to the neon light pollution coming from the stage to my right. My ghost town decided to have a 75 yr festival the nite I showed up!
Sunset over Shaniko Ghost town
Shaniko is a ghost town east of Redmond Oregon that is very well maintained. I signed up night for a workshop there and when our group arrived there was a 75th anniversary festival with hundreds of people and a band with lit up neon lights flashing everywhere. So THAT made the nite shoot INTERESTING…
Fortunately the sunset was spectacular!
Luv those layers!
Taken at Sunset from Paulina Peak an hour south of Bend. It has a 360 view of ALL the mountains.
If you continue past the main Tumalo falls there are several smaller but beautiful falls.
There is an interesting phenomenon in eastern Oregon regarding waterfalls. In the Olympic peninsula waterfalls are all practically dried up and barely flowing this time of year. Here in this VERY VOLCANIC area the water flows from underneath in lava tubes and lava rock and is just as powerful in September. Sure makes photographing them easier!
