A shopping plaza sign against a clear blue sky. A black and white drawing of a tall ship sits above "Sea Towne" yellow lined white script against a light blue background, just lighter than the sky behind it. Underneath, "SHOPS.RESTAURANTS.SERVICES", then a grid of smaller individual signs for the businesses in the plaza: BBSI, Coca-Mocha Joe's, Winds of Praise 98.7 FM, Elkhorn Real Estate, Actual Human dog com, Hearing Aids- Newport Hearing Center, Discovery...." The rest of the sign is out of frame.

Fratz-Dunn House, circa 1869, at Fort Hoskins on the Luckiamute River. Kings Valley, OR 📷 #infrared #oregon #pnw #KodakPixProAZ252 #pointandshoot #photographersunited #photography #photographersonbluesky #photosky Library of Congress blurb in alt text.

Infrared photo of a yellow house. Grasses in the foreground and the field behind appear in hues of pink and yellow, the hills beyond are pink and purple. The blue sky and scattered puffy white clouds mostly retain their natural color, but with a tinge of pink. A dirt road curves through the very bottom of the frame, while a modern highway peeks out between the house and the field. Foliage and trees, also pinkish, crowd the house on the left.

From the Library of Congress:

The Fratz-Dunn House was built circa 1869 on the remains of Fort Hoskins (1856). The Frantz family purchased the decommissioned fort site in 1866 and proceeded to construct a home next to the military hospital. The house faces the old military road on the hill (above and to the north) with its back to the Luckiamute River (below and to the south). The structure is Gothic in style and T-shaped in plan. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974 as an element of the Fort Hoskins Site. The structure is slated to become the interpretive center for the Fort Hoskins Historic Park.

"Nancy Jo's Burgers and Fries" is painted in white script on the side of the car. Other signs on the white support column include: a neon open sign, a circle with a drawing of the proprietor's smiling face with the words: "Nancy Jo's, the Proof is in the Burger", one that says "DRIVE THRU", one that says "ORDER ONLINE" with the a website address for the restaurant, and a small sign at the bottom reads "SE HABLA ESPAÑOL".

A mural of a whale smashing a boat from below, several men in the water swimming away in stormy waters. One sailor still clings to debris atop the whale's head. The mural is situated on a blue corrugated metal wall with two horizontal white stripes below it, near the sidewalk. Two orange traffic cones, one larger than the other sit near the curb, which is painted green. A small sign in the corner of the mural reads "donated by Moby Dick's Seafood and Spirits Hwy 101"

Two cars parked on the street in front of two storefronts in downtown Portland, OR. The back end of a black sedan on the right, with the front out of frame, in front of black painted plywood over the windows of the Golden Dragon After Hours club, the doorway accessible under an Asian inspired awning which has seen better days. The area around the door has a fresh coat of red paint, just a bit more orange than that if the other car, a red convertible with a tan soft top. Behind the back half of that car is the doorway of a body piercing shop next door, only "The Point" legible on their sign in the frame of the photo. Their doorway is painted with a pride flag motif, the Philadelphia design.

Newport, OR ABnR Laundry, back wall 📷 #photosky #photography #oregoncoast #pnw Canon 6d

The grey back wall of a laundromat fills the lower half of the frame, lined with windows, all but three of which are filled in and painted over, and four of those have small metal awnings. Many white vent pipes, partial rusted, stick out from the roof, bent over themselves to prevent rain from entering. A taller white wall rises behind the grey one, emblazoned with two Aamco Transmissions signs, Aamco in white block letters on blue above transmissions in blue letters over white and a red border. Clouds billow above the buildings, with blue sky above the clouds.
