It's been a LOOOOONG time since this site has seen any action. I found reasons to be busy, found a way to make other things more important, and all kinds of justifications for letting it go away.
But, I have also re-discovered the joy I have for taking photos and sharing them. So I am going to be re-starting this site as a place to find a new photo each week. As the title suggests, there will be some connection to Portland, in some form or other.
Today was the first really cold, frosty day of the year, and it was one of those cold, crisp, clear days that come around in late fall and early winter. It had been windy, wet, and rainy recently, but today it changed over to cold and very dry. So, there was a lot of fog, mist, and dew in the valleys that hung around most of the day. This picture was taken of the Willamette River from downtown Milwaukie before that all cleared out. With the panorama, you can see from the south - toward Oregon City - at the left and north to Portland at the right.
