I saw the above image on Facebook and thought, “That looks familiar.” You saw it here first.
Oaks Pioneer Church
Oaks Pioneer Church (Portland, Oregon)
Oaks Pioneer Church was built in 1851. In 1960 the old church had fallen into disuse and was scheduled for demolition. Funds were raised to keep the church from destruction, and in 1961 the church was shipped to its current location at the edge of Sellwood Park next to the Willamette River. Oaks Pioneer Church is now listed as a Portland Historical Landmark and is included on the National Register of Historic Places. Weddings are performed here.
I stumbled upon this place on my way to the Gorge for the Dave Matthews Band Labor Day Weekend festivities. I had never been to Sellwood before, even though I’ve been to Portland many times. Great neighborhood.
VERT Challenge

A two-day volleyball tournament gets underway today in Eugene featuring some of the best teams in the country. Matches will take place at the Matthew Knight Arena and will be broadcast on the Pac-12 Network. Besides the University of Oregon, the other teams are coming from the University of Florida, University of Nebraska, and University of Texas. Nebraska is ranked #1, and Texas is #2 in the country.
Not Unlike the Waves
Don Anderson of Agalloch @ Eugene’s WOW Hall (2015)
“Tide goes in; tide goes out.”
I was fortunate enough to see one of my favorite bands last year on what ended up being the first show on their final tour. Agalloch is no more. So sad.
