Sunset Travel Guide

Portland

Gilkey Covered Bridge over Thomas Creek
Ferns and wet logs, not the greatest material to work with.

But even from these lemons you can concoct a little lemonade.
This is a secluded little spot surrounded on all sides by suburban neighborhoods.  If there are any animals here, I'm certain they live in condos.

Still, it's a pleasant little walk under a canopy of firs, and perfect for a late fall or early winter afternoon.
Walk across bridge... great view!!!

Sunrise from the upper tram terminal at Oregon Health Science University. Timing is everything in photography. I have waited a year to get the right timing and weather for this shot. For those fortunate enough to ride the tram daily this is a common sight. Mount Hood in the background.
