The Goonies Home

I always like the movie "The Goonies" and is probably one the reasons I like the Astoria area so much.

The Bucket is Gone...

Closed KFC in Tigard, Oregon, a photo by Dornoff Photography on Flickr.

No getting a bucket of KFC at this place. This former KFC sat not too far from my school and home but was torn down shortly after I took these pictures.

That is one of the reasons I always try to get pictures when I can. You never know if there will be a "next time". I have missed too many opportunities over the years. At least this time I got the picture before the bulldozers took it away.

Here is another shot of the steam train sitting in Rockaway Beach, Oregon.

Like that a breeze was blowing both the US and Oregon state flags.

Now that I am back living in Oregon, trips to the Oregon Coast are a necessity since we are not living directly on the coast itself.

One of my favorite places on the coast is Rockaway Beach. Rockaway Beach is on the Port of Tillamook Railroad which suspended operations back in 2007 after a storm heavily damaged a portion of the line.

However, there is still a tourist train running from Girahaldi to Rockaway Beach using a steam locomotive from California.

Here is a shot of the train sitting at Rockaway Beach before returning to its point of orgin.

Took a trip over to the Oregon Coast to celebrate my friend's birthday. While in Rockaway Beach had the opportunity to capture the Oregon Coast Scenic Railway making its run from Garibaldi to Rockaway Beach.

The tracks belong to the Port of Tillamook Railway that has not seen service since its line was heavily damaged in a severe storm several years ago and the Port used the FEMA money on other projects instead of restoring rail service.

Boise Union Pacific Station

Back on June 30th, I spent the night in Boise on my way back to Salt Lake City after spending a week in Portland.

Boise has a beautiful train station that sits on a hill overlooking the downtown area.

One of things I never noticed before was that this building resembles the Catholic Church that sits across the street from where I went to High School.

2010 Toyota Camry

While much of my personal photography involves transportation, surprising little of it actually involves automobiles.

However, this past May when I was in Portland looking for an apartment we rented a car and decided to spend a couple of days on the coast where we used to live.

I thought this would be a perfect time to get some great auto pictures to practice with and find one to add to my portfolio.

Here is our rental car relaxing near Oceanside, Oregon.
