This is the Oregon I love - Big, open spaces, wonderful farms, no tract housing.

These plants are about 15' high and I was told they were hops.

In the parking lot of The Home Depot in Albany, OR, this 12' x 12' storage shed that looks like a barn was about 10' high with double doors, shelving and windows. I think this would make a great studio. Costs about $6,000 delivered and installed.
NEXT: More of the Willamette Valley.
