Arch Rock In Joshua Tree National Park by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: While walking the Arch Rock Nature Trail in Joshua Tree National Park with a view looking to the southeast at the namesake rock formation. Given the location and the rock formations around this area, my thought on composition was really limited with a focus more on the focal length. With this image, I pulled back on the focal length to include more of the surrounding landscape, as well as some blue skies to provide a backdrop for the arch rock itself in the image center.

Okay, but have you ever tried to climb 7,000 steps? I don't think I fully appreciated it until I climbed 207 to get to Arch Rock on Mackinac Island and wanted to die. The Dovahkiin's gotta have thighs of steel. I'm just saying.

Happy Work In Progress Wednesday!! This is the starting illustration for a multilayered reductive print I start last spring semester! I hope to finish it this next fall. I have One More Layer (there is always one more layer, I will never be done).

I recently fed my backlog of process pics from 2023 into Webglaze and will slowly be posting them here on Wednesdays! Some of them will be totally new pics to this account and some of them will be reposts. I won't be deleting any old posts because I'm lazy. But if all new posts are poisoned against AI it'll even out, right? This is how I validate my laziness.

National Oregon Day

National Oregon Day is celebrated on March 8 every year. This day celebrates the State of Oregon, which is also known as the Beaver State. Part of the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, Oregon has been home to many Native American people for thousands of years. 

It was the 33rd state of the U.S. and is one of the most geographically diverse states in the country. It has volcanoes, water bodies, dense forests, shrublands, and deserts. The capital city of Oregon is Salem, but its largest city is Portland

History of National Oregon Day

National Oregon Day celebrates the 33rd state of the United States of America. The day celebrates the history, nature, and people of Oregon, all of which are incredibly diverse. Oregon has been inhabited for over 15,000 years. Evidence of settlements have been found along the Columbia River, and by the 1500s, there were a number of Native American groups that had settled in the area. 

Exploration led to discovering and making note of the land and its people as early as the 16th century. Over the 1700s and 1800s, the European powers fought over possession of the land until the state of Oregon was formed and became part of the United States of America. 

The first Europeans in Oregon were probably of Spanish descent, and in fact, the name Oregon itself is likely of Spanish origin. During the 1700s and 1800s other Europeans like the French Canadians and Scots arrived, and some even began to settle down on the land. French Canadians have left a lasting impression on the state, with many names of places like Malheur River and Grande Ronde being of French origin.

Slavery has been a major part of Oregon’s history and statehood, with the debates raging over whether the state was to be considered a free state or not. Oregon banned slavery within its borders but required all Black Americans to leave the state. This exclusionary practice was upheld with strict punishment and a big part of the debate to determine Oregon statehood. Eventually, when Oregon was admitted as the 33rd State of the United States, it was admitted as a free state.
