I definitely enjoyed seeing these. Portland has to be one of my most favorite cities to see on this forum, yet IMHO it's seen much too infrequently. So thank you for these! :)

Amazingly beautiful, so much to see on this earth, and so little time and money to do it all. :(

Beautiful photos. You must have been holding onto these for a little while, because I remember seeing the sun for five minutes on Saturday, but that's pretty much it :). The views from the tram are great; I'll have to take a ride one of these days.

Did they repaint Ione Plaza? I thought I remember its being blue, but I'm questioning my memory. Are you an architecture student at PSU?

Thanks for the excellent set!

Thanks!

ChrisLA, I share your sentiments...at least we have photos, right?

Hossboss, I think Ione may have been repainted...I never saw them doing it, but I have some older photos in which it was more blue/grayish. I am a Community Development major at PSU, hoping to go into planning for grad school.

Yeah, it makes my city look like it is a big city when it isn't all that big...but I do love it here.

To me, Portland, Seattle, Denver, etc. are "just right" in terms of size. ;)

FWIW, I finally got around to visiting Portland this past June and fell in love. It's a great city with lots to love (gardens, coffee, Powells Books, good public transit, etc.). Thanks for sharing these wonderful pics! They make me want to visit again soon.

What is the building in #16 from the top (Lloyd district shot) way off in the distance?

MarkDaMan

I believe that is the Firstenburg Tower in the 'couver, part of the the Southwest Washington Medical Center.

Thanks, guys.

dvandrake, I remember the when I first moved to Portland from the midwest and we went across that bridge...freaky experience! It seemed almost like a roller coaster.

Luv the bridge shots (espiecally the Marquam Bridge stack)....... for those who never been on that bridge, the view from up there looking downtown and towards SOWA is phenominal!!! Great photogallery.

The views FROM it are great, but OF it... :)
Too bad it's our ugliest bridge. Ugly Marquam + Awesome Fremont = 2 "okay" bridges.

...I guess Sellwood isn't much to look at, either.

It's SW Washington Medical Center in Vancouver, WA.

Wonderful pics! I set your already famous skyline pic as my desktop! Hope you don't mind.

Nice set fango. Reminds me quite a bit of Sacramento except not as flat..

I really like those shots from "Pill Hill," and the South Park Blocks look beautiful this time of year. The whole PSU area is really changing with new development. Thanks!

Great pics. Portland does remind me of Sacramento as well. I need to check out PDX soon.

Looks like a fantastic city!

I really like these pictures, they make me want to go to Portland.

And yeah, that bridge looks kind of scary. I would be scared to drive on it.

Anyway, that's awesome, I would absolutely love to go there.
Thanks for the pics.
