in 1983 I flew from SF through Portland to Tri-Cities Washington on an engineering assignment, I was a brand new engineer :) The plane stopped in Portland Airport on the tarmac and let off some passengers and took on a few others. Waiting in the plane, I watched out the window, a dark gray cloud cover hung low over the whole area, I had never seen anything like that. It was the middle of summer. I thought I can never live in a place like this... fast forward 1987, we flew up for a weekend and loved Portland and the environment... fast forward to 1990, an opportunity came up and we moved to Portland, and now for 30 years, I have been in Portland... have I gotten used to her ways, I am still not sure :)
please see large :)
On my last day in Oregon, inthe afternoon, I walked around my sister's neighborhood photographing flowers in the gardens I came upon...and this was one of them:).
A Portland Terminal Company yard job with a UP GP38-2 catches some rays of sun as the mornings clouds over the Willamette and Columbia Rivers start to burn off.
The Portland Terminal Company is jointly owned by BNSF and UP, with both railroads supplying the PTRC's motive power needs. The PTRC operates Lake Yard west of downtown Portland along with an ever decreasing amount of industrial trackage in the area.
After several days of very thick fog we extended are plans and stayed an additional day in Maine based on a promising forecast. Our patience were rewarded with the kind of beautiful sunrise that helps remind us why we get up at 4AM to be at special places like this.
Portland Bill Lighthouse has been standing majestically for the past one hundred and eleven years at a height of 41 metres (135 ft). The distinctive red and white tower first shone its famous four flashes of light every twenty seconds on 11 January 1906 and has a range of 25 nautical miles which has guided passing vessels through the hazardous waters around Portland Bill as well as acting as a waymark for ships navigating the English Channel.

Portland Art Museum
In spring and summer 2026, the Portland Art Museum presents David Hockney: Works from the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation, celebrating one of the most influential artists of our time. The vibrant exhibition, on view February 14 – July 26, 2026, is the largest North American survey exhibition of Hockney’s work, with more than 200 colorful prints, collages, video, and photographic and iPad drawings spanning six decades of the artist’s career.
Best known for vivid scenes that highlight his passion for both the natural world and human connection, visitors will experience a stunning array of dimensions and media that underscore Hockney’s innovative experiments. Included are his iconic subjects and series—California swimming pools, the monumental Yosemite, and British landscapes in full bloom, as well as intimate portrayals of friends, family, and queer desire.
“Hockney’s colorful, fresh perspectives encourage us to reconsider everyday objects, faces, and places of our rapidly changing contemporary world in whimsical new ways,” said Catherine Whitney, Honolulu Museum of Art Director of Curatorial Affairs and exhibition consulting curator.
Highlighting some of Hockney’s most celebrated pieces, David Hockney: Works from the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation sheds light on the artist’s process, driven by his fascination with technology as a channel for both artistic creation and human connection. In a pursuit to better understand how artists translate visual perception, Hockney has explored historical modes of representation, including the expansive spaces of traditional Chinese scrolls, the condensed dimensionality of Cubism, and the linear perspective of the Italian Renaissance, as well as optical devices like mirrors and the camera obscura. He also takes inspiration from the continual advancement of modern technology to evolve his approach and visual vocabulary, utilizing tools such as copy machines, photo editing software, iPhones, and iPads.
“To many, David Hockney is the most important artist working today. His images take us on a journey through country roads and gardens and let us view his exploration of perspective. More than any other artist, he has used technology to create art,” said ARTnews Top 200 Collector Jordan Schnitzer. “Whether it was Xerox prints, Polaroid photographs, or on the iPad, Hockney’s eye and hand create some of the most intriguing and beautiful art ever made!”
Hockney’s ability to engage deeply with an ever-changing world invites viewers to reconsider ideas of relationships versus solitude, spectacle versus reality, and tradition versus technology. A highlight of the exhibition is a 2014 photographic series that demonstrates an innovative approach involving “reversed perspective,” in which the spectator’s view is tightly focused on the foreground of an image, rather than upon a far-off vanishing point. Multiple angles and equally sharp viewpoints converge simultaneously to visually simulate the experience of moving through space and time.
“We are pleased to be partnering with Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation on this impressive exhibition of David Hockney’s work,” said Portland Art Museum Director Brian Ferriso. “We are excited for visitors to experience the artist’s vibrant style, subject matter, and perspective shifts in the newly renovated and expanded museum.”

Had a couple of days staying in Dorset last week visiting some old friends. This is a shot of Portland Bill taken on a rather blustery day.
From my collection of "The American Lighthouse": This is from a photograph I took in February 2007 of the Portland Headlight Lighthouse. I am back in Portland and depending on weather, plan to make it back out to this lighthouse for some early morning shots.
