Log Cabins

Took this shot in Longview, WA last year. I was actually back here today, dropping off an empty trailer at Keystone Paper. We haul large rolls of paper to companies that use it to make corrugated cardboard boxes. (8 rolls weight over 40,000 LBS, which is enough to fill our 53' trailers.) When trees are logged, places like this is where they start the process of becoming all the many things we use wood for.
The driver taking forward the 12.44pm Carlisle Yard - Chirk Kronospan log train (6J37), waits patiently for the arriving driver to collect his belongings from the cab at Warrington's Bank Quay station. Colas unit 56105 is doing the honours.
An image not previously uploaded but one I thought deserved a run-out, not least for die-hard 'Grid' fans. This was one of the last railway shots I took with the part-frame EOS 7D before upgrading to the full-frame 5D, a move I've never regretted (it's still my main camera with no current plans to replace).
I had little luck processing this one at the time, but today's software has rendered it more than passable - technically if not artistically.

Built sometime around 1900 this log barn was used to shelter the horses that pull the stagecoach from Penticton to Princeton, British Columbia. This was the first stop after the stagecoach left Penticton and the passengers would stay in the hotel across the road. It took four days to travel the 120 km (75 miles) to Princeton. Today, the trip takes about an 1 hour 15 minutes.

Students have all logged out of this schoolhouse.
It was extremely cold yesterday morning when I took this, so I also quickly logged out in favour of the warmth of home.

Captain's logs star date Sept 2022.- winding through route 99 and making another stop for eye popping scenery. No wonder the 7 hour trip took 13 hours.
Another way of seeing the countryside is using these log rafts. I think that the canoes were a little better though - rather more maneuverable through the rapids
I never paid much attention to this old log barn until now, but it stands out beautifully against the frosty trees. I wonder why it was built using vertical logs. Every year we have a few days when heavy fog freezes, creating beautiful frosty scenery.

The green (what we usually expect if someone says, "look at that moss,") is the gametophyte phase of this moss. The plants make eggs, and sperm, that fertilizes the egg. Then, if all goes well, a non-green structure, the sporophyte, grows from the fertilized egg. Each sporophyte has a capsule on its end, and spores are grown there, then released, and washed or blown to another occasion.
This entire assembly was (and most likely still is) growing on a downed tree trunk.
Isn't God a great artist? Thank you for looking.
This is another one that I check periodically when in the area for other reasons. The right side has collapsed considerably since the last visit and the top of the chimney has fallen off.
A Portland and Western train sits crewless on the siding at Linton, just a few miles west of Portland along the Columbia River. Behind the lead GP39-2 is a long cut of log flatcars.
