Hotlinking the Vegetable

Snag Boat Bottom Bend is a relatively new part of the William L. Finley National Wildlife Reserve, detached from the main area and located off Peoria Road just south of Peoria, Oregon. Peoria was an early metropolis, back when the Willamette River was the major travel route. It lost importance when the railroads, and then the highways took over. I spent a lot of time at SBBB for a couple years, driving by it twice a day on my commute. Its parking lot sits in the sun, so it is kind of nasty this time of year, but there is a field of young trees which will provide shade in a few years.

It's a great place to catch cool clouds, sitting out in the middle of the valley with long perspectives in every direction. This picture went up today at Weather for Maidstone as an illustration for unsettled weather "rumbling away in parts of southeast England, East Anglia and southern England." I'm very happy to see it hotlinked, this is a fun picture.


Thank you Maidstone Weatherperson, whoever you are!
