Subaqueous

Located off of US 101, about 13 mi. South West of Coos Bay is Shore Acres State Park.

Most of the coastline consists of sandstone cliffs with the occasional secluded cove tucked in. One of the best things about this State Park is that there is a trail that skirts along the cliffs edge, enabling you to get some rather remarkable views. Unfortunately, our day was a little rainy, but we still made the best of it.

Located in Oregon, North of Florence and south of Yachats, is Heceta Head State Park (which includes Devils Elbow State Park). Devil’s Elbow Cove is easily accessible from the 101 and offers tremendous views, lighthouses and trails.

One of our first stops along the Pacific Coastline was at Dunes National Park. Im used to seeing rocky cliff lines, so making my way to the coast and seeing nothing but massive dunes was quite the surprise for me.

Here is the collection of vehicles scattered about on the farm.

Not much to explain here. These are some of my favorite shots from the farm. All vintage tools that have passed their time of service. Enjoy.

There is a lot of life on the farm. So it’s only natural that there would be some death lurking about.

You’ve seen the farm, now its time to see some of the animals on the farm!

To kick off the new series, I thought it would only make sense to first introduce the actual farm that we stayed at.

This is my Great Uncle, Nick Botner’s Farm out in Yoncalla, Oregon. I would say the actual farm property is around 200 acres. There are multiple vegetable gardens, an apple orchard, rows of wine grapes, emus, lamas, alpacas, horses, goats, sheep, ducks, geese, roosters and a collection of antique cars and trucks.

At the beginning of June I spent one week with my parents in Oregon visiting my Great Uncle, Nick Botner.

I had never been to Oregon before and never met this part of my family. Needless to say, I brought my camera gear and ended up taking over 700 photos in one week.

I’ve already broken down the shots into around eight categories or so, and will be spending the next few weeks processing the shots. I will try to at the very least post one series a week. But hopefully I can get out two series a week.

The image above is the farm / ranch my Great Uncle owns. I took the shot from some property he owns on the adjacent mountain.
