Finally some clearer skies and a gentle breeze instead of clouds and fierce wind.
The theme of the sunset tonight was sunbeams. These images were captured about 20 minutes before sunset and I'm glad I grabbed these since distant clouds obscured the actual sunset. The tidal pools in the foreground usually aren't there but the intense winds over the last couple of days made the usually tranquil Gulf into a turbulent sea with higher than normal tides.

I don't often see chickens, but this little honey was running around a local barn. I popped on five textures. Four from skeletal mess and I can remember where I got that post card texture. I downloaded it years ago...

Eaton Hall is an academic building on the campus of Willamette University in Salem, Oregon, United States. Completed in 1909, the four-story brick and stone hall is the fourth oldest building on the campus of the school after Waller Hall (1867), Gatke Hall (1903), and the Art Building (1907). Eaton Hall was built from 1907 to 1908. The primarily Late Gothic Revival style building was dedicated on September 21, 1909, and named in honor of Abel E. Eaton. Eaton donated $50,000 for the construction of the hall. He owned the Union Woolen Mills in Eastern Oregon. Originally constructed with round spires on the turrets, these were later removed. Eaton Hall was home to Willamette’s law school from 1923 until 1938. During the 1960s the structure housed the school’s office of the president, the registrar, the school’s telephone switchboard, and business offices.

Alfred Aholo Apaka Jr. (1919-60) popularized the music of Hawaii in the Territorial era and was the star entertainer at retired industrialist Henry J. Kaiser's Hawaiian Village Hotel. He passed away suddenly and much too soon in early 1960. Vintage but undated black & white Kodak Photo Post Card. Goofy graphics but Alfred was extremely photogenic as usual.

This old post card depicts a scene I have never seen. Apart from the strangeness of the antique bathing costumes, there's the sheer number of people in water. More on that later. What's completely new to me is the rope line that extends from the shore to the breakers. It seems to have been intended to help bathers make their way to and from the beach and stay upright at the same time. Whether it did any good or whether it was even necessary, I cannot say.
I've seen enough late 19th and early 20th century photos and illustrations of the beach here to conclude that the shore today is depopulated in comparison with the beach in its heyday.
These days, even at the height of summer people just don't spend much time on the sands or in the water.
Signs warning of dangerous currents and widespread coverage of drownings might be responsible for keeping people out of the waves. On the other hand, some people, especially young males, seem to love living dangerously. Even they aren't present here.
What accounts for the change? Until the 1920s, when cars became widely adopted and roads were built to connect Portland to the Oregon coast, the only beaches that were readily accessible to most Portlanders were on this peninsula. The crowds who disembarked from the paddlewheeler included wives and their children who would remain here for the summer while their husbands returned to the city.
In a time before motion pictures, if people wanted to see the living ocean they had to come to it. Then, as now, the ocean had a mesmerizing effect on the public. The well-dressed Victorian men and women who were captured on film or in art strolling along the water's edge must have found the people-watching as interesting as the endless motion of the waves.
Frank and I are part of a handful of people who wade in the waves. The conditions have to be just right. First, the tide must be coming in. Secondly, the ocean must be fairly calm, with no waves breaking where we plan to wade. Next, it must be sunny. Last, but certainly not least, the water temperature must be bearable.
It's this final criterion that's the most variable of the lot. August and September are the only months when we'd even consider taking a dip. However, even then water temperatures can change from one day to the next. If the first step into the water is painful, there's no point in going in any deeper.
One should never attempt to swim in these waters or wade any deeper than one's hips.

My second fabric post card I have ever done. My first was earlier today. It was fun, but need to work on my sewing skills. I do like the raw edge I left on the edges, it gives it more texture. I like texture and color.
I used to live down the street from here. And part of it was chasing 5 Fulton (bus that goes downtown) to go to work. Hmmm, I wonder why the memory of chasing the bus sticks out. I could think of better and happier memories but I love the Bus chasing memory best. LOL
