The "Azalea" (see ALT for explanation)

#Photography #Oregon #Newport #PNW #OregonCoast #FishingVessels
An image of the "Azalea," a wooden fishing boat at Port Dock 7 (a place where Newport ties up abandoned vessels). The "Azalea" represents a sad reality for the older wooden fishing vessels. As they age, they become maintenance headaches, eventually becoming too expensive to be economically viable. So what often happens, the owners literally walk away--they quit paying the dock fees and the dock authorities finally take possession of the boats (I do not know the details of how the "Azalea" got there). They sit under the care (or lack of) by the port authorities until someone either pays the back fees or the boats become write offs. So I go to the old dock on occaision to photograph these old wooden boats before they disappear.

Some fall colors

#Photography #Oregon #Newport #PNW #OregonCoast
Red is a relatively rare color for coastal Oregon fall, mostly provided by understory maple bushes.
