This Gallery is pictures of Marion
County ...located in the heart of the Willamette Valley. It is home
to Oregon’s
State Capitol in Salem – an impressive marble
building where the
Lewis and Clark
facade
reminds us of Oregon’s past. Flowering
Cherry trees enrich the landscape and the
Golden Pioneer looks down from his
perch on their pink blossoms. Salem’s
Riverfront Park has a giant globe made of tiles
that are icons for people, places and animals around the world. All
ages can learn from this unique attraction which was dedicated in
2003.
Marion County reaches east –
Detroit Lake on the Santiam
River and to the south –Jordan Covered Bridge (which was moved
TO Pioneer Park in Stayton in 1988, burned
down a few years later and was rebuilt again in 1998!).
Diverse agriculture is demonstrated
in wheat fields and
Iris fields in Salem, Poppy
and Cosmos fields in Silverton, and as many as
20 specialty gardens, such as Hughes Water Garden,
displayed in The Oregon Garden in Silverton.
Marion County can include sunsets of
uncommon beauty and graceful waterfalls of
uncommon power that dapple Silver Falls State
Park
in Silverton. What a breath taking oppotunity to
see Oregon’s natural and manmade scenery!!
