PORTLAND, Oregon | (Insert Clever Thread Title Here)

[Sekkle]

It’s been a while since I posted any Portland photos, which is kind of strange considering that I got a new camera over the summer. I guess I just haven’t had time to get out there and take pics… at least that’s the excuse I’m going with. I have taken random photos at random times, though. This is a collection of stuff from the past year or so. Some are with the old camera, some with the new. Some may be recognizable to the Portland local crew since I’ve posted a few of these in the Portland forum. Anyway, here goes…

Goodness forateoh! This is definitely the best portland photo thread i've ever seen on ssp. Great pictures--they play out like a story. Thanks!

[mSeattle]

Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! Thanks for all your effort. Really pays off in at least one of the very best PDX posts on SSP.

Awesome shots.

Is Portland ready for a major league baseball team? Looks like a nice stadium.

Some say yes and some say no. You saw how empty the stadium was...that's the naysayers argument. The pros say Portland isn't a 'minor league' town and would support a major league team. I'm not sure. The stadium is cool, mainly due to it's location, but is too small for MLB.

An semi-interesting fact on this subject is that the owner of both the Beavers(minor league baseball) and Timbers(minor league soccer) teams that play at that stadium is Henry Merritt Paulson III...goes by Merritt...the son of the US Secretary of the Treasury, Henry Merritt Paulson Jr.

No clever thread title needed--these photographs are amazing. Really cool layout, too.

Superb! Portland is one of my top 5 favorites in the U.S's western half. A lot of character and natural beauty around Portland's periphery.

Oh boy did it surpass Phoenix!? JK This set is amazing! I'm moving to Pdx tomorrow...literally.

That close-up of Mt. Hood in the clouds is the best Mt. Hood view I've ever seen!

There's a lot of familiar and some unfamiliar stuff in that line of pix (lived there from '87 to '99). Good job.

A lot of precipitation around Portland's periphery as well.

Portland is certainly one of this country's best midsize cities!

[OhioGuy]

Wonderful photos. Such a fantastic city!

What the?? Don't fall off your bike or an alligater will eat you?

[mthq]

My god you're good. Do us a favor and use your camera some more. I also love the recurring 'Portland' graffiti and the overall layout of your pics.

Yeah.. I hate it when that happens. I myself am still recovering from one such incident last summer.

[alexjon]

Oh god, I moved at the right time-- I spotted a couple of friends in those photos

Great set! Can't wait to visit again!
