Am filled with mixed emotions this day that I'm leaving Washngton. I'm sad to be leaving, but at the same time am excited about seeing new territory in Oregon. So, I take the photos and the memories with me of all that I've seen in Washington, and I carry on. There's no doubt, Oregon has plenty in store for me.

This page comprises pictures that were taken on my last day in Washington, headed down the Highway 97 to the Oregon border.

Some may consider it a mediocre road, even boring. But I was in Heaven as I pulled over many times, especially in the rich fertile land north of Ellensburg, to capture shots of old barns that were just too picturesque to pass up. There were few names, few signs and few landmarks to identify them, so the photos will be without captions. They will speak for themselves.

South of Ellensburg, the terrain changes dramatically to a much drier climate, in fact, the driest part of the state of Washington. I stopped at the Fred Redmon Bridge where a portion of the Selah Cliffs can be viewed.

Down on the Oregon border, a replica of England's Stonehenge makes for a pleasant last visit in Washington.
