A Finalist!

So I made it to the Top Three in the Oregonian’s Photoshop contest! I am posting this larger one here so you can see more detail if you want to.

I did add a couple more “voodoos” to this version (in the two cars in front of the last motorhome), so that there are an even two dozen! (The 24 includes the M&M doughnut on the side of the truck.)

It’s kind of a fun way to call attention to the traffic problems in this area! A couple of years ago I explained the problem this way.

Here is my original photo. While the backup is caused by the bottleneck in Dundee, these cars were actually in Newberg (2 miles away), and not moving.

Here are my other two contest entries:

OK, it’s not exactly a delight, but our little village is getting an extreme intersection makeover slash new traffic light!

Is it going to help the traffic problem? Probably not. But it will make it easier for those of us on the east side of town to get on the highway. (They’re adding a new right-turn lane where that flagger is standing.)
