To the Rosy City

Over Memorial Day Weekend, I sojourned down to Portland. The entire trip is a wealth of photographic opportunity, and I was more than happy to make use of it. By the time I returned to Spokane, I had some 300 exposures, and given more time--and places to stop along the freeway--I would have had more. There are two primary locations from the lot: the Portland Zoo and along the Columbia Gorge. Lighting was a bit of a bugger for me, as the sun was high and bright most of the time, and the zoo doesn't seem to know how to light its interior sections. At any rate, I'm sure I'll be posting a few more shots from the trip as I get to them.

The trains running along the Gorge were absolutely beautiful.

There was a train rounding the bend just as I was taking this shot.

40? Sure, maybe when the people aren't swarming everywhere.
