The following is a series of photos from our travels from
Portland south to the Eugene area and then over to the coast. It's also
somewhat of an experiment as I begin to get comfortable with Adobe PhotoShop and
some if it's advanced capabilities -- most notably, in this case, its capability
to shrink photos for web publication. I've been experimenting with
different levels of compression, so some of these photos may look a bit fuzzy,
but I'm trying to get a 600x800 image down to about 30-45 Kb. while maintaining
reasonable quality.
I'll keep adding photos to this page as we continue to wander
the area.
