This is a classic view of Portland, seen on many postcards. Part of what makes it such a classic view is Mt. Hood, beautifully backdropping the Rose City. Today, Mt. Hood was hidden in the clouds.
(See how this view looked one day later, when carolyn_in_oregon photographed this on a clearer day.)

Portland Bill is a narrow promontory at the southern end of the Isle of Portland, and the southernmost point of Dorset, England. One of Portland's most popular destinations is Portland Bill Lighthouse. Portland's coast has been notorious for the number of shipwrecked vessels over the centuries. The dangerous coastline features shallow reefs and the Shambles sandbank, made more hazardous due to the strong Portland tidal race.
