HAPPY NEW YEAR Flickr friends, hoping for a fantastic year for everyone in 2020...

Oregon: Columbia Gorge sunset from a vista point close to Portland, looking East...

 

This point marks the farthest point reached by Broughten exploring the Columbia River... he named Point Vancouver and Mt Hood...

 

I believe I was at the Corbett View Point on the river...

" Chatham's first significant voyage was Vancouver's five-year mission to the South Seas and Pacific Northwest coast of America. Her commander was Lieutenant William Robert Broughton, with 2nd Lieutenant James Hanson "

even though the sun was setting in the West, and here I was looking East, everywhere it was variations of reds, oranges and pinks... a wonder world for sure...

 

please see large :)
