Blue Period.

from /r/vexillology Top comment: ***The breakdown of all the amazing symbolism in this design:*** So I was looking at a picture of Mt.Hood and it was so beautiful that I thought I would use this as the basis, I mean this literally, the colours are positioned how they were in the picture. The Colours: * **White:** represents the mountains of the state (especially Mt.Hood) as well as the snowy conditions that areas of the state experience. * **Green:** represents the forests and biodiversity of the state. * **Blue:** represents the Pacific ocean and water resources of the state. This is also a state colour. * **Gold:** represents the wealth of natural resources and nature that the state is lucky to have. This is also a state colour. * **Combination:** Green, white and blue are also the colours of Cascadia, a region the state of Oregon is within. Symbols/Icons: * **Beaver:** I mean the state is called the beaver state and the beaver is that state animal. Beavers are also awesome builders and show great ingenuity. * **Wagon wheel:** on the reverse is the wagon wheel, this is to represent the Oregon trail. See the reverse side!

The Parkhouse Vol.34

Safe Haven by Lizzy Gadd Via Flickr: A quick random thought: Most people I meet have told me that, though they might love the mountains, they would feel uncomfortable and perhaps claustrophobic if they were to live amongst such giants for very long. Me? I'd feel protected. _______________________________ Facebook Page | Tumblr | Instagram
