Last year, I read in one book about various visionary artists' places, and I decided that I would visit two of them.One day last August of 2009, I decided to go for a long ride within northwestern Oregon and the first stop I made was Peterson's Rock Garden in Redmond, Oregon. I drove into the parking lot, and right in the middle of it is a huge structure with a peacock on top of it (see blue arrow). I noticed that a good number of rocks looked like it came from a volcano. I paid the admission and walked the grounds. I took quite bit of pictures, but I decided to show you a few and let them speak for themselves. The next stop I made is the "The Fun Farm" in Bend, Oregon. It's a combination of junk, antiques, and costume shop. I drove into the parking lot, and unfortunately the store was not open when I arrived. It's really an interesting place, but since the store was not open, I did not feel comfortable going into the back of the store to see the huge installations visible from the main road (more like a highway).These two are truly fascinating places. I hope to go back to "The Fun Farm" again, but I go there again, I will find a way to contact them and find out the store hours. You can get more information about these two places in the book (Rare Visions and Roadside Revelations) below:----- Back to Table of Contents ---------- Home ----- All artwork, contents, and images copyright 2007-2010 Andrew Borloz - all right reserved.
