Oregon USA - This is my home state & where I was born.
Location: West coast of the North American continent. Roughly centered upon the 45th parallel.
Population: 3.4 million

City Of Portland
Although its not the capitol, (or my home town) Portland and its outlying communities hold nearly 2/3 of the population of the entire state. It is the only city in the state with buildings over 22 stories tall.
Mount Hood

Located just a little over an hours drive outside of Portland, Mount Hood Meadows is a popular snow ski area. Timberline Lodge is where the horror film - The Shining - was filmed.

Here is a link to a remote cam of the mountain. When you look, you see part of my homeland live. (go to conditions-web cam)
Old Growth Forest
Many of these trees are well over 200 years old.
Multnomah Falls
Just one of the many beautiful falls areas scattered across the state.
The Oregon Coast
Oregon is known for its breathtaking shoreline. I spend as much time at the beach as I can.
The Wreck of the Peter Iredale
This is a shipwreck near Astoria where I was born. 278 feet from stem to stern, she ran aground on October 25, 1906. She was owned by Peter Iredale of Liverpool England.
The Wreck Today
She is sometimes nearly covered with sand, then days later, unearthed by the tide.
 
During World War II, the only enemy shells to strike Oregon soil landed near the Peter Iredale. They were fired at night from a Japanese submarine, and soared directly over the wreck into empty fields near Fort Stevens.


That is just a glimpse of where I live.
