If you watched the movie "Stand By Me" this perspective of North Main Street in downtown Brownsville, Oregon, may look familiar, as it was part of the final scene in the film. Click the link below to view the four boys (River Phoenix, Wil Wheaton, Jerry O'Connell, & Corey Feldman) make their way across the bridge. It appears at the 19 second mark of the clip. For all you movie nerds......ENJOY!

Happy Wall Wednesday, everyone!
These wall shadows caught my eye during a recent visit to Silverton. I was taken by the way they (the shadows) created a "box" or "squaring" effect of the rectangular-shaped balconies due to a particular angle of the sun.
