Portland Photographs

by

I am a member at Flickr, a photo hosting & photography networking site (if you want to know who I am, leave me a comment and we’ll be Flickr friends! *insert “awwwwww” here*). I was struggling to come up with something to write about tonight, so I randomly did a “tag” search for “Portland” while surfing Flickr. I found some intense and amazing photographs that I thought I would share with you. Don’t mind (and feel free to skip) my own responses to the pictures … I’m feeling chatty and so I’m just going on and on.

This picture is just amazing to me. I love Portland at night, the bridges all about town and the Hawthorne bridge is so pretty in this photograph. I’ve walked over this bridge a million times but never at night, and now I want to, just to experience the lights. I also really want to go down on the water now!

I’ve never actually been to the Japanese Gardens, and the more photographs I see of it, the more I realize that I’m absolutely missing out on something. This fall picture is so gorgeous that I’d like to go there tomorrow. Too bad I have to go to class, then work, then more class and then STILL have plans.

Here we go back to Portland at night. This picture has a great description on it - so you should definitely check out Zeb’s photographs and read how he did it all. He has an entire set dedicated to Portland and I could probably spend all night staring at his photographs!

Look at the colors! Seriously!?!?! This happens in Portland! Right where we live! Do you appreciate this photograph as much as I do? Good.

Other favorites I stumbled across tonight:

    Hey, thanks for linking me! Lovely post about Portland, too. I know both zeb and thespeak personally, and we’ve actually gone out shooting together.

About Portland, OR

There are a lot of misconceptions about Portland, Oregon. We are not all communists, we are not all hippies, and many of the females do in fact shave. Portland is a vibrant, progressive community that balances the native with the newcomer, the eco-minded with the lumber industry, and the natural with the urban. About Portland, OR is a home for all the contradictions.
