From my recent trip to Portland. I got lucky with nice weather and beautiful view from the Pittock mansion. I am going to process the photographs of the mension. Pretty nice place with interesting history.
Portland at night panorama as seen from the view point at Pittock Mansion. Tons of people there during the day, but with the cold, most disperse before sunset, when the city lights make the view a lot better, and you can still see Mount Hood in the background. Don't know why I haven't taken pictures from this viewpoint before, it's made for panoramas. The original after the stitching is actually much wider, you can see the Convention Center and the Rose Garden on the left and more bridges to the right, but I liked this crop better.
