Description: deep below ground in Battery Mishler in what was once a harbor defense command post in World War II, and a harbor entrance control post in world War I, is this burnt out and abandoned power hoist. at one point after the site was no longer in use some vagrants went in there and lit a fire to keep warm, and the entire place went up in flames . Now all that remains is a shell of what once was a powerful and vibrant military center. the low lighting in this photo gives it an otherworldly ghostly effect like trying to peer into the past.
Description: An old weather beaten log, and its reflection, cross a stagnant looking, algae covered stretch of Trojan pond, near Goble, Oregon. Upon closer inspection there are two frogs hiding camouflaged in plain site--one on another semi-hollow log on the lower left, and another halfway out of the water on the lower right, as well as several mostly submerged and showing as eyeballs and ripples in the water.
Description: my poem, Awakening Divine Self Worth, which is about changing from seeing yourself the way the world sees you to seeing yourself as of infinite worth as you develop the divine within you: One shaft of light Illuminates my mind, Streaming through one tiny crack Of this fortress mine. Amid the dank and darkened shadows, Through cobwebs aged with time, This light begins awakening An inner me, Divine. Basking in this warmth of light, A struggle now takes play Breaking free from cobwebs And reaching for the day. I hunger for this filling light I strive to let it in To fill my aching eyes with sight I know I must begin. A stretch, a step, a forward leap, Each stone moved from its place This light, His love, a soul'...
Description: I'm not 100% sure which lake this is, but I think based on looking at maps that it is either Coldwater Lake or Clearwater Lake. As seen from Johnston's Ridge, near Mount Saint Helens, a hiking path climbs towards either Coldwater Lake or Clearwater Lake through mountains still recovering from the volcano's destruction.

Description: Night photography down the hallway in the underground tour of Battery Mishler, Fort Stevens, Oregon creates a ghotly effect of traveling through time. How many soldiers walked these halls, who were they, and what were their lives like... if only we could step through time and see...
Description: Ever been stuck in a rut going nowhere? climbing the wrong ladder? Going nowhere fast? This Ladder leads nowhere, so climbing it would be entirely pointless. The specific ladder resides in Battery Mishler, fort Stevens, Oregon. Since this Battery was used from before the Civil war, through world war I and into and beyond World War II, It was built in stages for various purposes. at one point someone built this ladder and then never completed or covered over where it was supposed to go…never dismantling the ladder.
Description: An artistically done work of digital art, this textured photomanipulation of the lilies in Vernonia Lake is full of light and beauty. An Oregon rain splashes down--dancing on lily pads, yellow lily flowers and blue lake water in a synergy of energy, tranquility, and reflection. We can find beaty even in the trials. Vernonia Lake is also known as Vernonia Mill Pond.
