The Chemung mine is located in the high desert close to Bridgeport, CA. The mine was in operation between 1909 and 1938. I took my this areal shot with my drone. Enjoy!

About traveling
Last week I asked the question: Why are we traveling? Part of my answer is the cuisine of each country, although I left out some specialties (dog, snake, incubated eggs)….
Wohlige Wärme
Feuer fasziniert irgendwie immer. Passend zur kalten Jahreszeit (bei uns liegt schon der erste Schnee) ein wenig wohlige Wärme. Wenn auch nur optisch.
Fire always fascinates somehow. A little cozy warmth in keeping with the cold season (the first snow has already fallen here). Even if only visually.

Brickworks
Traditionally Dutch houses but also castles, bridges or factories are built from brick. Numerous brickworks popped up in places along the shores of the rivers where suitable deposits of clay were available and the coal necessary for burning the bricks could be brought in and the products shipped out on barges.
Few survive today as museum, and even less in working order. One is the Vogelensangh brickworks in Deest. This factory was built in 1918-1919 and bricks are still baked in much the same way as 100 years ago.

Astoria-Megler Bridge
Built between 1962 and 1966 – at that time the longest bridge in the world with a length of 4.1 miles. The bridge crosses the mouth of the Columbia River between Astoria, Oregon and Megler, Washington. A truly exceptional experience to drive across this bridge
Vicious Attack
A family friend has a border collie that loves to attack water. I got some hilarious images of her chasing the water hose, and this was one of them. I love photographing animals in motion and seeing their wild expressions. Hope you enjoy!
Ship Wreck near Astoria, Oregon
The Peter Iredale, was a four mast iron clad ship built in Liverpool in 1890. In 1906, on its way to Astoria at the Columbia River, the Ship ran ashore during storming sea with little visibility. Today it is a natural playground for kids of all ages and the playing waves.
Here, an archive photo of the Peter Iredale.
All photos shown subsequently were taken with an iPhone 15 pro max, mostly in the raw mode.
