After photographing the Astoria-Megler Bridge, we drove to the Astoria Column. We had no expectations of a view. The column itself was hidden in a thick fog. There was a grassy hill that looked like it was out of a story book. My youngest tested the waters and explored it a little bit so decided to … Continue reading Astoria Column in the Fog and the Runaway Child

The Ethereal

History Demolition
It makes me sad that these old building will very soon disappear. Gasco Building(1913), and Centennial Mill (1910) both built around the same time, both in the process of being demolished.

Spooky Oregon City Paper Mill Site
There is something about abandoned buildings. I have in the past, avoided them, because they disturb me. The emotion is strong. I avoided buying a home a few years ago that was near an old steel foundry. They give off a strong creepy vibe. Danger. Heartlessness. Industry. Mystery. Death. Toxicity. Not in my backyard. Now, … Continue reading Spooky Oregon City Paper Mill Site
