This Sunday I’ll give a nod to my city, which is a nice one. Most pictures of Portland that you see will have been taken from the east bank of the Willamette River. This is a more unusual take, from the north on the upper deck of the Fremont Bridge. I stopped very briefly on the left shoulder. Luckily the light was beautiful and the traffic was light (it was late afternoon on Sunday). The green field you see in the foreground was recently created from ugly industrial land. I could have brightened the shadows a bit; the contrast is pretty high in this scene. But I think I like it with the shadows and contrast, to further separate the buildings, which look fairly crowded from this perspective.
This view of the north side of Portland’s skyline is not one you see often.
