Location City -  Salem
State -  OREGON
Country - United States   United States
About Salem is Oregon's Capital City, and here I am looking at the beautiful Capitol Building.

Shirley's car wouldn't start again here, so we called the tow truck, again! But when he finally got here, it started for him...hehe. He thinks it's the starter. Well, at least we got back to Shirley's apartment okay, but she'll have to take the car for repairs, I guess.

Is that a pair of shoes hanging off the top of the capital statue... I swear it must be... and who is that guy in the foreground, John "Teddy" Smith of the Pilgrims...

Make a deal with you Shirley, I will pray your car heals itself and you pray that my external hard drive that crashed this week with all my digital and lots of my scan slides images can be recovered, or I will be a sad little Pilgrim... :(


Shirley D. Cross   {K:141852} 11/14/2007
Oh, Larry! So sorry about your external hard drive. I save all my photos on CD's. Not very space efficient, but at least they're backed up, for now.

You ARE following Gene's adventures, aren't you?


Michele Carlsen   {K:134435} 11/14/2007
Excellent shot dear Shirley !! I too have taken a photo of the capital & as close as I could get to the Pioneer- but it was at cherry blossom time- wow!! Is it so beautiful there then !!
I am so sorry about your car :((

Dave Arnold   {K:55613} 11/14/2007
So did Geno make fun of your capitol? I mean, everybody else has got a dome... except Oregon who puts a window mannequin on the roof.... hey, I know a little lady who would love to dress that place up with some lingerie.....


Dave Arnold   {K:55613} 11/14/2007
Or maybe that's a statue of Superman... who knows.


Shirley D. Cross   {K:141852} 11/14/2007
Thank you so very much, dear Michele! Yes, I also have photos of the Capitol at cherry blossom time. In fact, I was commissioned to do a piece for a local bank, and they now have a 24X36 inch framed print hanging in their executive offices.

Yes, my poor car...haven't called the mechanic yet...


Shirley D. Cross   {K:141852} 11/14/2007
Thank you so very much, dear Winfried!:)


Shirley D. Cross   {K:141852} 11/14/2007

marvelous tones. great. 7+++++++++++++++


Shirley D. Cross   {K:141852} 11/14/2007
Thank you so very much, Nacho!:)


Miguel Marques   {K:1194} 11/15/2007
Don't talk about car problems to me... i'm driving a Mitsubishi :-( (just joking)
It's a lovely shot Shirley, well balanced, well «framed», lovely colours too... :-)


Shirley D. Cross   {K:141852} 11/15/2007
Haha...well, right now I'm searching Craigslist for another car, since everyone is telling me my van is shot! Thank you so very much, Miguel!:)


Larry Donnelly   {K:1190} 11/15/2007
Alas I saved some of my work on CDs but got cumbersome, (Santa, I need DVD burner), going to invest in on-line backup service as well, hope both our "drives" get better.

I will try to find where this Gene comes in (could have used a stuffed Unicorn as a bone to ol' Larry), isn't there someone in Australia doing something like thiswith a similar creature. This must be Travelosity Gnome syndrome. No LD version of Kiss Me yet, got to get some free time to put that one together, I will keep blowing kisses at the original xoxoxo


Shirley D. Cross   {K:141852} 11/15/2007
Hahaha, Larry...you are so funny! Yes, I'm searching Craigslist right now for a new vehicle, since everyone is telling me mine is shot!

Actually, Gene started from California, but he has been to Australia and New Zealand already. Maybe that's what you're remembering...


Doyle D. Chastain   {K:99839} 11/15/2007
Beautiful building . . . and it looks like Gene is just soakin' in the sights!! Man, what a bummer about your wheels! The marble siding makes the whole thing feel almost castle-like.

(I hear the good thing about a 'Yugo' is the rear window defroster which keeps your hands warm while you push it . . . I'm just sayin') LoL!

Regards,
Doyle I <~~~~~


Shirley D. Cross   {K:141852} 11/16/2007
Yep...been checking out Craigslist for another car. Sometimes you can find a real bargain there.:)


Gregory McLemore   {K:25295} 11/16/2007
A majestic capture.:)


Shirley D. Cross   {K:141852} 11/16/2007
