I see the three boxes but I also see the photos. Weird.

Maybe click on vBulletin box. Not sure what it means.

I made it a point this year to finally read Marilynne Robinson's novel Housekeeping, an outstanding work. The fictional town in which it was set was inspired by Sandpoint, ID. The film adaptation however was filmed largely in and around Nelson, BC.

My family always keeps a running list of movies we think would be good for "fun family film nights". "Housekeeping" is now on the list. Thanks. As for Nelson, our most famous movie stand-in for a US town was "Roxanne", with Steve Martin and Daryl Hannah. A sweet, silly Cyrano de Bergerac bit of nonsense.

'Housekeeping' reminded me of 'Leaving Normal', another Christine Lahti movie (with Meg Tilly); A road journey thru Oregon to Alaska (a 1992 movie directed by Ed Zwick), Lahti is great, also is Meg Tilly (Big Chill)...i found out later that Tilly's father is a Chinese from California, her birth name is Margaret Chan...

Oh, I'm here in New Mexico looking at all the lush green foliage and water in these shots. So envious; and at the same time, so many of you in the Northwest would love a visit to the deserts of the Southwest! Funny how that works...

Ha! It’s true. Grass is always greener…

The few remaining Steiner Cabins located near Oregon's Mount Hood are examples of what is known as Oregon Rustic style. Not the best of images, but it does present another side of the pacific northwest as viewed by its architecture.

You can see this style at Camp Sherman, near Sisters. The store and post office.

Following on the X100S -Pacific Beach, Oregon

Worth noting, I carried the X100S in my bicycle bag cycling from Portland through the northern Routes 26- and 6 out through Tillamook. I cycled back from Nesqowin at Hwy 18, enjoying a couple of the best peaches ever at a roadside stand, making it to McMenamins in McMinnville just in time for cocktail hour!​

Beautiful photo and representative of the NW lighting some parts of the year: dark here, but glowing there, or vice versa, etc. I believe I did a bit of that route randonneuring the coast years ago. Only a phone-photographer back then.

Thank you! Yes, the light is wonderful along the coast, and riding is nice there too. Shoulders are hit and miss in places but I was struck (no pun intended) by how the "Semis" on the passes went out of their way to accommodate bicycles (mine anyway) so I never felt threatened. The smaller roads along the coast are more worrisome.
