It's one of my favorite threads...some great photographers here...HCP and Andalusian are top shelf photographers.
Mission Basilica San Diego de Alcala, earliest Franciscan mission in California (est 1769). We have visited 11 of the 21 missions and several of the small offshoots on reservations - one day I hope to do a California trip of all the missions. FWIW - my favorite so far of those I have seen is Mission San Miguel Arcángel - maybe because it has not been restored like most of the others. https://www.visitcalifornia.com/experience/california-missions/
nice! I have a small stream over the bank from my back yard that's spring fed and year around...then my property goes up to the edge of endless BLM land...nice buffer from the public
I land survey some very remote parts of Wyoming, Montana and North Dakota. I always make a point to capture old homesteads. Maybe I’ll make a coffee table book one day.
Bordering public land is the way to do it. It’s like having a bunch more land that you don’t have to pay for. If and when I’m able to buy a little bit of land that’s the first thing I’ll look for.
I'm second generation Lincoln High School. My mother and I had the same biology teacher, Calvin Foulk. My mother went to a different building which is now part of Portland State. Portland State never existed in her day except in a different location with a different name, Vanport College.
When I was in high school Grant was the biggest high school in the state with over 4,000 students. Jefferson was number two with about 3,800 students. My ex wife graduated from Washington but her two brothers went to Grant. One was a baseball star who got a full ride to the U of O. One of the people who use to post in here, now banned, knew the two brothers and also was a baseball star who played for the University of Portland.
it takes a lot to get banned from this place. if you post here, you’re probably off your rocker. if you get banned from this place, you probably should be locked up without access to a computer.
