No sunset, but...

[Bill Crawford]

Friday afternoon I notice some big Cumulus clouds forming, and some scattered thunderstorms around. Dreaming of a beautiful sunset over the river, I headed for the Gorge with no time to waste. As I'm passing the Goldendale area, I'm looking at the beautiful cloud formations, and thinking, wow, if I just had a foreground subject, like an old barn, or a tractor to go with that sky! Just south of Goldendale is a scenic viewpoint, where you can see Mt. Adams and Mt. Hood. I've driven by there many, many times. This time I'm looking beyond the tourists and the information sign, and I spot this old house right there next to the pullout. Why haven't I seen that before?! I shoot every angle I can find, and head for the gorge- still might get that sunset! The sunset turns out to be a total bust. But when I got home at midnight, I was glad to see these images! At least I got something.

Great set here Bill.

Nice save for your day - these are some neat shots.

That's a gem of an old structure to play with as a photo subject. Distinctly beyond the fixer upper category.

A fun set of images, and a great job of resetting your objectives. I especially like the first one!

This is a super cool set of images Bill. Even though the sunset was a bust, you sure scored here!

Nice work. I've stopped at that place driving home from down south.
