Two related photos today on our last (cloudy and rainy) day in Portland. I'd hoped to meet up with Jane Pittenger and our plans fell through when she was held back by icy roads that only threatened to get worse. By mid-morning, Portland had turned from sunny and inviting to cold and damp. We spent a few hours at Pittock Mansion, a restored architectural gem once owned by a newspaper magnet, now run by the city and non-profit foundation. The views from there would have been amazing except for the thick clouds (see other post for today that shows the mansion - http://365project.org/taffy/the-also-ran-ph/2015-11-30 ).
A beautifully captured Panasonic view , I simply love the layers with their textures , hues and tones --a very calming effect over what must be a very busy city ! --fav
What a fantastic landscape. And I love the drama of the sky. It sounds like Jane made the right decision, always better to be on the safe side, especially with icy roads.
A fantastic view, A few years ago our daughter and family were living in Oregon , whilst she was there she climbed to the top of Mt Hood. the photographs she took a t the top were beautiful a fav
Portland is a neat city. Great job on the city view. The times I visited my friend lived in the hills above downtown so your photo is pretty much how I remember it!
@maggiemae We were across from Mt Hood on a hill overlooking the city and the Columbia River. Mt Hood's base is barely visible on the far right section under the cloud.
@fearinnocent Yes, I thought Portland was quite wonderful! With family who live there, I'm sure I'll be back each year and look forward to it. The weather was unusually sunny for us for most of the weekend.
