Former Long Line Microwave Relay
Wasco County, Oregon
August 2025
Microwave relays were used for long-line telecommunications from the 1950s through the 1990s. Fiber optics, satellite, and digital technologies have made the microwave relays obsolete, therefore either be decommissioned or repurposed for newer technologies like wireless.
This relay in Wasco County, Oregon, appears to have been repurposed for other use. The infamous horn antennas have been removed.
Happy World Photography Day!
Happy World Photography Day!
The daguerreotype process was introduced on this day 186 years ago. The process produced images on a polished copper sheet with a thin coating of silver.
Photography has evolved over time to print and digital. Today, there are an abundant of social media platforms, photo sharing websites, and individual website. There are still an abundant of hard copy books and prints, too.
Photography is a way for me to share my experience from that moment. It’s also a way for me to explore the subject. Sometimes, it’s also documenting the subject before it’s gone. Sometimes, it’s about the journey to reach my subject. Sometimes, it’s about holding onto those memories. Sometimes, it’s about being creative.
Happy photographing!
Bald Eagle
A bald eagle perches on top of a wooden pole at the northern Oregon coast this morning.
I’m not certain what it’s on the lookout for. An avian intruder? The morning meal on the ground or from the sea? People, dogs, and seagull watching?
If this eagle has fish on its mind, so do I.
