The Willamette Valley: It was created by way of massive Ice Age floods that left the valley floor thick with flood-carried sediments, making the valley extremely fertile. As such, this was the "promised land" and was what immigrants sought while moving west along the 2,000-mile Oregon Trail in the late 1800s.

The first volcano is easy to spot; Mount St. Helens is the mountain cut in half. Between the tall buildings at right is Mount Adams. The hardest one to see is Mount Rainier - just barely visible sticking out the left side of St. Helens.

The United States Navy and Canadian Maritime Forces have brought in a few battleships for Portland's annual Fleet Week & Rose Festival. Docked alongside Waterfront Park, these gigantic vessels make for an imposing but graceful presence.

A construction worker tends to some last-minute detailing on the brand spankin' new Ardea Tower. The tower is Silver LEED Certified and all-in-all, pretty badass. I saw it again a few days ago, completed, and it was rad.

One of my favorite pictures I've ever taken. Got so lucky with that postal truck pulling up just as I was to fire the shot.

The Portland Aerial Tram is great fun. The views are so ridiculously fantastic I had perma-grin for at least half an hour after riding to the top.

The second in a series of five riverfront buildings in Portland's South Waterfront neighborhood, Atwater Place is a slick addition to the river blocks. I've always wanted floor to ceiling windows... maybe this will be my next home.

To get this vantage point, I strapped my camera to a giant pole that stuck out my car's moon roof. Well actually, I rode the tram.
