Finally the sun has returned! I try to get out as much as I can to enjoy it. Hope you enjoy the tour!

The annual Portland Cirque du Cycling parade:

Great Portland thread...no doubt the best I've seen.

Thanks for the in depth, full gamut look in the Rose City

I think we'd all be hard pressed to find too many other downtowns in this country that are as pedestrian friendly as Portland. Nice photo thread!

Nice!

fangorangutang · #5 Posted **Jul 5, 2008, 4:11 AM**

Yep, that's Portland. Great pics!

Excellent work, realm. Probably my favorite Portland thread yet

I just ate here tonight before checking out the fireworks at the Waterfront Park...

Oh, and is that an Oregon City shot I see snuck in there (Willamette Falls)?

Nice shots!

Nice pictures! Definitely one of the best Portland threads so far. That city's looking good...

Nice pics, Portland is a great place.

oh man, this is too dope.
also, I though pita pits were only in b.c.

Ayreonaut · #13 Posted **Jul 5, 2008, 5:02 PM**

I should get down there at some point. It wouldn't be that hard to drive down for a few days. Something to think about.

Nice thread.

Portland's looking awesome. Thanks for the great photos!

Great thread!!! One of the best of Portland I've seen in a long time

I really love the first 5 or 6 shots. This one caught my attention. Where was this taken from? I-5?

Great work and I look forward to More!!!!

That looks to be 405 just south of the Freemont Bridge.

Thanks for all the great comments, everyone!

@ForAteOh: That's funny, while you were at the Greek Cusina I was next door at the Rialto! And yes, that is an Oregon City photo disguised among all the others. It was too cool to leave out but then I forgot to label it!

@daniel_t: Actually that pic is taken on I-405 just after you cross the Femont Bridge over the Willamette.

I love Portland, Great Thread!

Echo Park · #19 Posted **Jul 6, 2008, 12:37 AM**

Love it. Good chance I'll be moving here Sept 2009, threads like this make me dread it a little less!

^ IMO there's really nothing to dread, except the winter blues. After being used to Southern California sun you might be in for quite a shock your first winter. Nothing can really prepare you for it. Otherwise it's a fantastic place to live and I would recommend it to most anyone. It has the best of city life, mixed with a certain indefinable quaintness.
