Friday shoot-out: rustic, rusty, rust

It's been a little while since I participated, but this week's theme for Friday Shoot-out, where we do a photo-shout-out for our communities, was so appropriate for Oregon.

Rustic. Last night I was at a pot-luck and this is how it looked in front of the little cabin where we  were, just outside of town.



 Rustic. This is the ceiling in our living room, a typical northwest-style house (complete with *&^%$! cobwebs in upper right!)



 
Rustic. John's jazz trio was invited to play at a lodge in the Cascades over the weekend; "jazz" and "rustic" aren't usually found in the same sentence.


 
Rustic: As part of the deal we were offered a free night in a cabin.


Rustic: The cabins are furnished with locally-made furniture.



Rusty: An old Ford on a nearby farm


Rusty: Farm equipment left out in our rainy climate doesn't last long.

Rust.


Get in the habit of taking pictures of your community; share them with others, and improve your photography skills: Friday Shoot-Out.

  3. My favorite part of this post is the jazz players. I can actually smell the pines just gazing at your photos. I hope you enjoyed your stay in the cabin. It looks like a divine place to me.
