Pittock Mansion has been called Portland's Historic House Museum. While visiting the well maintained gardens there many years ago, I found myself focused on one flower. Now that I look back at the photographs I took that day, obviously the center of this blossom attracted me as if I were an insect intent on landing there.
If you are interested in the history of this place and the people who lived there, do check this out. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pittock_Mansion

I have been meaning to find some Cypress trees for a long time, finally found my way to lake Moultry, a lot of the shoreline was frozen over, and if you look closely you can see the base of the trees are still frozen.

I'm up for a change today :]
this is quite different, and please take in consideration that I dont do much of these so I'm obviously not a pro in the matter.
Yesterday evening I visited the beautiful old center of Dordrecht, with Wim Boon. I was glad he was familiar with this place, and was able to show me many wonderful streets and interesting architecture. Of course too much to shoot in one evening but I managed to make a couple:)
Thanks for having a look! All faves and comments are highly appreciated!

Mono Lake, Eastern Sierra, California
A seagull swimming in Mono Lake, a saline lake on the eastern side of California. The formations on the left are tufa towers, calcium carbonate deposits created by up-welling springs. The towers were revealed after the lake's water levels dropped when the city of Los Angeles started drawing more water than could be replaced. A growing public uproar and lawsuits in the 1980s resulted in the stablization of the lake's water level.
As for the sea gull, I had had other plans that morning, but since the bird was not going anywhere, I made it part of the composition. Sometimes I do that with people as well.
