Oregon | lost dreams |

When we visisted the Sherman County Historical Museum in Moro, Oregon, we learned a lot of interesting facts about Oregon´s history. First the pioneers from the west crossed this area heading fast into the fertile Willamette Valley. Only as they felt crowded a few years later, one or the other turned back eastbound to settle on the high and dusty plateaus to grow grain. This very day the people here are hard workers to make a living. The crop can be raised only every two years. Every other year the land lies fallow, gathering moisture for the next crop.

Sometimes it doesn´t work long enough.......

A well chosen topic! It is typically American...the old barn, the dead tree...Along with the blue sky and clouds is a beautiful whole!!
With friendly greetings, Odeveld

love the atmospherical "mixture of moods" here! on the one hand, there's this genuinely american "home turf feel": a glowingly blue sky looking down on the bleached grass of a big country – "little house on the praire" revisited… but then there's also a sense of despair and abandonment, due to the dead tree and the same colored barn/cottage with its pitch-black, hollow windows. greetings, sabine.

So nicely captured, this abandoned home, it makes one think of the hard life the poeple must have led out there in this big wide open land - a bid to lonely for me, but nice to look at.

ghost villages, abandoned homestead ... always sad but interesting, and in your image beautifully captured with the trees as a "frame".
greetings, Adele

Das weckt Erinnerungen, denn von Washington nach Kalifornien bin ich die ganze Küstenstrecke Oregons entlang gefahren.
Eine gute Doku, denn solche völlig verlassenen Orte gibt es in Washington auch einige.
