Rusty Boat

I discovered this wonderful, rusty old boat near the docks in Newport Oregon. I wish the top stood out better from the background. Next time I'm in that area I'll have to try different angles.

Newport Bridge

I love the bridge in Newport. It is quite busy below the bridge as this is where the docks are and boats and ships are coming and going often.

Newport Bridge

The Yaquina Bay Bridge is an arch bridge that spans Yaquina Bay south of Newport, Oregon. It is one of the most recognizable of the U.S. Route 101 bridges designed by Conde McCullough.

The bridge opened on September 6, 1931, at a cost of $1,301,016. A total of 220 people worked to pour 30,000 cubic yards (23,000 m³) of concrete and fabricate 3,100 tons of steel.

The main span is flanked by identical 350 ft (107 m) steel arches. The rest of the structure is constructed of reinforced concrete.[2] One concrete deck girder forms the northern approach, and a series of 5 arches makes up the southern part of the bridge.

The details of the bridge are typical of McCullough's style.

Cape Perpetua

Another beautiful scene on the Oregon coast.

Cape Perpetua

"Situated between Newport and Florence along Highway 101, Cape Perpetua continually draws visitors with incredible views, magnificent forests, and all-out beauty in many forms. Encompassing approximately 2700 acres of land, the Cape Perpetua Scenic Area boasts twice the botanical mass, per square acre, as the Amazon jungle in South America."
