Bike path near Bridal Veil Falls on the Columbia River Gorge
Last night I had the pleasure of seeing The Pink Floyd Experience while visiting Portland. They still have a couple more shows left on this tour. If you live near Bremerton, Washington (3/29/14) or Vancover, BC (3/30/14) you don’t want to miss them.
Today’s photo is from last Saturday morning. Portland was experiencing some relatively rare sun, and it was hitting these carrots just so. I couldn’t resist a pic.
Opening for Finntroll this past Friday night in Portland’s Hawthorne Theatre was Sarcalogos.
Blackguard, Metsatöll, and Ritual Healing were also on the bill on this evening.
I’m traveling at the moment (in California to see Iron Maiden tonight and catch an A’s game tomorrow) so I’m leaving you with a traveling photo. Today’s pic is an aerial view of Portland. The bridges, from left to right, are the Marquam Bridge (I-5), the Hawthorne Bridge, and the Morrison Bridge.
Rogue Ales (aka Rogue Brewery) began in Ashland back in the 1980s. They are now located in Newport, Oregon (nowhere near the Rogue Valley or the Rogue River), but they have kept the name. Today’s photo is from their location in the Portland Airport (Rogue Ales at the Portland Airport (PDX)).
We didn’t end our bike ride at Mutnomah Falls, but our week of photos is over so I better get the most famous part of this ride in. Above is the “classic view” of the double-tiered falls, complete with the bridge you can walk on between them.
In late October we went to Portland for a couple nights. On the only whole day we had in Portland we took a Pedal Bike Tours bike ride called “Columbia River Gorge Tour” (mostly) down the Historic Columbia River Highway. While I took a few hundred photos along the way, I will spare you all but seven of those pictures over the coming week.
Our first stop on the tour was the Portland Women’s Forum, a state scenic viewpoint. However, today’s photo is from our second stop, the Crown Point Vista House.
