The Shoe Tree Near Shaniko OR, 2008
I had to throw in the colorless (mostly) version of THIS photo. I really love the starkness it causes and gives off a bit of eeriness. I thought this a better shot than then one of used underwear next to it.
Gas Pump Over Columbia River
A lone gas pump in Biggs, Oregon that is no longer in operation – wished the numbers could have come out a little clearer. I remember this was a stopping point a lot for baseball trips in school, but never really walked around to see what I could find (nor had a camera I guess either though).
The “Shoe Tree” Near Shaniko, Oregon
Although the “shoe tree” may not be its official name, this bizarre looking, shoe-decorated dead tree stands just ten yards from U.S. 97 highway shoulder, exactly at milepost 53 just north of Shaniko, OR. We breezed past it pretty fast, but make a quick stop to turn around.
Funny story – I was with Heather and the little ladies, and these 3 tough guys got out of their car and started walking towards our car as I was out jumping the fence to get a closer look at the tree. I kinda started heading back towards our car to see what was up and apparently all the wanted was a snap. Paranoia I guess…
