Fly. Be Free. Be free to fly anywhere within the range of your species. Enjoy the beautiful day. Enjoy the sky. Look down at the world, while the world looks back at you. Open your wings, but don’t care who sees you. Look for fish. Look for french fries. Just be the bird. Photo: Taken [...]
A cool Summer evening leaves you sitting in the park watching the trees move gently against the sky. As you sit and admire nature, the waxing crescent moon makes it’s appearance between the trees in the sky. The Moon looks at me, and I look back at the sky. Photo: Taken at Sacajawea Park in [...]
A cloudy day in Portland — what else is new? As the sun sets behind the Portland skyline, the last light of a spring day turns the buildings into a silhouette. Reflections courtesy of the Willamette River. Photo: Taken from the Eastbank Esplanade in Portland on 18 May 2010.
Remember back when you were a kid? You would play that game where you look up at the sky and try to figure out what shape the clouds were. Animals? Spaceships? A bowl of mashed potatoes? It is springtime again — time to look up at the clouds again and lose yourself for a few [...]
A morning trip on the Washington State Ferry M/V Hyak allowed us this interesting view of a point of land on Lopez Island in the San Juan Islands. The way the land and trees jut out into the water and the sky look like some sort of trick photography, yet this is just one of [...]
I’m driving around Beaverton today, and happen upon the swath of land where the BPA runs some of their major power lines. I was struck by these, how you could picture them as, say, a line of robots strung along the lines, marching in a row. Anyway, I was looking for just the right angle [...]
It sprouts from the grounds at the airport like a daisy in the field, yet it is an imposing monolith standing starkly straight and alone. Or, if you look at it from the right angle, it is most can even look like some sort of space-age, yet medieval, castle in the clouds. In fact, it [...]
After driving by the airport today and snapping a few random photos, there is something somehow unsatisfying about the results. An airplane taking off or landing is a dynamic thing, an event that would make a better video than a still photo. A still photo could, at least in this case, be almost anything. What, [...]
Yes, this is another one of those nighttime pictures where the camera slipped. Still, it would be totally cool if the moon were heart shaped. Just so we have a more conventional night photo here, here’s the real moon: Photos: Taken in Southwest Portland on 1 July 2007.
Well, no, I’m not really sure what my obsession is the last few days with fluffy clouds. I will offer another one anyway, though. On this day, the clouds looked gray and menacing over Bainbridge Island, in this photo of Eagle Harbor. Eagle Harbor is the location of Washington State Ferries base for maintenance operations, [...]
