The Willamette Mission was one of, if not the earliest, of missions in Oregon dating back to the 1830s. These represent the structures that were built on this site at that time...the actual size and outline of the original buildings. The site turned out to be a dismal choice and the mission was forced to move a few years later from the banks of the Willamette where these were located.
Love the narrative, thank you..
What an unusual, but extremely effective, monument.. love your chosen PoV and the oppressive vignette, echoing the dark times the folk endured.
@cathieg This was taken at Willamette Mission State Park, north of Keizer,and not the park in Salem...all well for the summer, will be staying on in Oregon after all....give me a call if you care to, it was fun meeting you.
@jorlam Thank you, Jorlam...it is an interesting monument, quite effective. and thank you noting the details of photo as well...always appreicated, as you know.
@granagringa - You're so very welcome! I'm still having a hard time managing it all AND being on this project. But I had some extra time and decided to have some fun going through your photos! You never fail to leave me entertained! I'm especially loving what you're doing with the twisties...as I know, using the same subject in different ways really tests your creativity but it somehow all works out!
