For those not from the Pacific Northwest some of the photos may seem odd.

There is a replica of Stonehenge located in Columbia River gorge. Some of the photos were of that installation.

There is a installation of galloping horses somewhere near or in the Columbia Gorge. I’ve never been to see it, but understand there are a number of rusting metal horses erected there.

The rusting hulk on the beach is located on the Clatsop sandspit in Oregon. It was the Peter Iredale:

Per wikipedia - “The Peter Iredale was a four-masted steel barque sailing vessel that ran ashore October 25, 1906, on the Oregon coast en route to the Columbia River. It was abandoned on Clatsop Spit near Fort Stevens in Warrenton about four miles (6 km) south of the Columbia River channel. Wreckage is still visible, making it a popular tourist attraction as one of the most accessible shipwrecks of the Graveyard of the Pacific.”

A lot of nice photos. I really enjoyed them.

Many of the photos look like HDR types with contrasts squeezed in away to attempt how the human eye perceives and deals with contrasts! Very pretty results!

From the picture it doesn't look like much of a replica to me.
