  • Net Loft, Columbia River, Astoria, Oregon.  The Uppertown Net Loft, also known as Alderbrook Station, was built on the Columbia River in 1897 by the Union Fisherman's Cooperative Packing Company, a union formed in 1896.  On 1 December 2007, a violent winter storm ripped off the top story, The strange row of window frames is all that remains of that top story.  The new, flatter roof was installed after the storm.

  • Joshua Tree (Yucca brevifolia) in the Mojave Desert, is ironically inundated by surface rain water runoff after a heavy rain storm in Joshua Tree National Park, California.  Several studies have been done on these centuries-old trees.  In a current study, ecologists from the US Geological Survey linked climate change to population decline and are modeling the impacts of climate change on their survival, and the possibility that 90 percent will be wiped out of their current range (and out of this national park) in 60 to 90 years.

  • Wave-washed Saint George Reef Lighthouse (12km distant), the only thing not in motion in a gale-lashed Pacific Ocean off the coast of northern California near Crescent City. The light marks the outer extents of a treacherous bank of shoal areas, rocks and breakers, about 3nm wide by 6.5nm out to sea, named "Dragon Rocks" by Sir Francis Drake and now "St George Reef" on current navigation charts. The location for the lighthouse was selected in 1865 after numerous notable losses, but construction was not completed until 1892 due to the obvious logistical and weather challenges. The most expensive lighthouse ever built in the USA. Manned and operated until 1975, when it was replaced by a nearby floating navigation light. The lighthouse was finally abandoned in 1995. Seen here from Point Saint George, in a rare view between fronts in an early winter storm. Very challenging getting any photograph at all in such fierce conditions of salt spray, rain and gale! Del Norte County, California, USA.

  • Gatehouse 5 with empty Reservoir 5 blanketed in snow, with SE Hawthorne Boulevard and the City of Portland beyond.  Mount Tabor Park, Portland, Oregon, USA. In 1903, John Charles Olmsted of the Massachusetts-based landscape design firm Olmsted Brothers recommended that a city park be developed at Mount Tabor.  Portland Parks Superintendent Emanuel T.

  • Vegetated Filter Strip treats rain water runoff from parking lot before it reaches a swale which in turn discharges the stormwater into a nearby stream.   Vegetated filter strips are now a widely accepted best management practice (BMP) for low impact development.  They work on the principle of contact time and therefore require low runoff velocities.  This is achieved by maintaining low-angled slopes and avoiding flow-concentrating features such as curbs.

The water feature, designed by Herbert Dreiseitl is an effort to re-create the pre-industrial wetlands and riparian ecology of the original Tanner Creek that flowed to the nearby Willamette River in the early 1800s.  One sustainability feature of the park is the collection, treatment and recirculation of all rainwater that falls within the park.  Additional sustainability features include the re-use of basalt cobbles, or Belgian Blocks, for walkways and the re-use of rusty railroad rails for the undulating wall.

  • Tanner Springs Park in the Pearl District of downtown Portland, Oregon is a modern-day experiment in sustainable design and stormwater management.  The water feature, designed by Herbert Dreiseitl is an effort to re-create the pre-industrial wetlands and riparian ecology of the original Tanner Creek that flowed to the nearby Willamette River in the early 1800s.  One sustainability feature of the park is the collection, treatment and recirculation of all rainwater that falls within the park.  Additional sustainability features include the re-use of basalt cobbles, or Belgian Blocks, for walkways and the re-use of rusty railroad rails for the undulating wall.
