I went back to Portland for a visit last week. I had an hour to kill on my stop-over in Vegas (which is obviously not really on the way from New York where I live) and decided to take a few shots of town instead of playing the slots.

On the way up to PDX, I tried a few shots from the airplane. Here's some Mojave.

Dawn, heading back to the airport, I caught South Waterfront from the car.

Haven't been to Portland in ages. I need to get down there again.
Interesting that you can see the LV skyline like that from the airport.
