Central and Eastern Oregon
The wild landscape of Central and Eastern Oregon runs deep with history and diversity.
To the north, the mighty Columbia River meanders her way through 4,000 ft canyons. In 1986 it was signed into law as a National Scenic Area. In the central part of the state, lies the high desert and scenic Three Sisters Wilderness, Ochoco and Deschutes Mountains. To the south are the Steens Mountains. They too, have stunning carved gorges, wild rivers and are home to an abundance of wildlife. It is some of the most rugged and remote land still left in Oregon. My adrenaline continues to be fueled by adventure and exploring new places of historical significance that shaped the landscape. This gallery takes me back into our forgotten past of what we did, or didn't do to build our future.

Life on the farm is hard.
In 1985, John Cougar Mellencamp wrote "Rain On The Scarecrow" in recognition of the farm recession in the early 80's. About 33% of farms were foreclosing or in serious trouble from a variety of causes, domestically and internationally.

on October 11, 2021I loved that John Cougar Mellencamp song. It's so sad to loose the old farm buildings. I really like this image, and I applaud you for capturing these once great buildings before they are gone. This is a fabulous shot!
