I spent almost 15 years in Oregon, and even now miss the ability to drive to that magnificent coast for a day or just a sunset. Thank you for the reminders of what I consider my "chosen home", the place that I put down roots and found myself. The place where I healed, learned to live without fear, and eventually learned to love again.
If you even make a trip back, touch base and I'll give you the inside scoop on some lesser known but equally glorious places that are a day trip away if you stay in Portland.
My goodness Glenn - these are incredible! My favorites are "Crossing the Columbia River from Washington state into Oregon" and "Driving into Neptune State Park in Yachats."
Twinning! But my photos are nowhere near as fabulous as yours. I’m doing a series every Monday about our Epic Road Trip (South Carolina to Arizona and beyond). Do you find it a pain to include photos in Substack posts? I find it really aggravating. Much easier on my Blogger blog. Just curious your thoughts on that.
Thank you for the nice words. It took me a little bit to figure out photos here, but I really don’t find it to be a problem now. My quandary often is what to leave out!
What a drive! The sea is wild. Favorites? Seriously, favorites?? Nearly impossible, but ok. Indian Beach, Hecata Head Overlook, the fog! The well-worn tree stump conjures up a long past landscape. The bridge threw me at first, scrolling from the top down ~ I thought, "Oh! An aqueduct? In Oregon?" duh. Love the ancient, arched inspiration. The photos of Jill are gorgeous. So, yes, I have difficulty choosing favorites. Love this series!

Will do! And thank you for taking a look. Come back for another "reminder" next week.
I love the light in the state park images. Absolutely gorgeous. I could lay down in any of those images :) Thanks for these!
Thank you for taking a look and for the nice words. It was a stunningly beautiful trip.
Spectacular images, Glenn! Absolutely gorgeous.
Thank you, Mark! Appreciate it!
A wonderful set, Glen, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for taking the time to look and to comment. Much appreciated.

Thank you, Rachel!
Gorgeous work, Glenn! And you’re right; there’s never enough time to see it all.
Also really happy to see you two made it to Indian Beach; not many people do.
Thanks, Kevin. And I really enjoyed Indian Beach. I thought it was a nice find when I was looking at places to stop.
That lone figure on Newport beach is a great photograph Glenn.
Thank you! That’s my wife. She popped up in a few of my favorites on this trip…

I know THAT feelin' too!!
We were going to do Oregon this last trip but decided to do the Pacific Northwest next time.
I'd like to go on your Route 66 journey!
It was so much fun. I’m glad I finally did it after all these years.

Thank you, B! It was a wonderful trip; I can't wait to go back. Very inspiring artistically.
Thanks for looking and commenting Michael. You are fortunate to live in such a beautiful and awe inspiring place.
