would be nice to see some 150' to 250' interim towers, and when the market returns, a possible 400' to 450', or two, or three, at least several blocks from each other. WITH a maximum footprint of 6000 sq ft.

I was browsing Flickr for SoWa shots and found a great picture (from cougpdx)

That picture almost looks like a rendering

PacificNW · #**1109** Posted **Jul 3, 2008, 9:09 PM**

It still amazes me that just a few years ago that area was a brownfield. Great picture!

A cool picture from 'Mr. Graves' at Flickr.

Actually, that is reality. Infrared is just a part of reality that our eyes can't see.

seriously, b/c the background looks like a photoshop job. It also look like the view is looking almost dead South, I don't recall, but is there that kind of tree covered hill to the south - maybe there is in the distance and the cameral really flattens the depth of field. Cool image though.

CUclimber · #**1115** Posted **Sep 15, 2009, 9:14 PM**

I know-- I'm being serious too. Trees look white when shot with infrared film or with a digital camera that has been modified to record the IR spectrum.

The hills curve around right there by Terwillegar so from that vantage point (on the Ross Island Bridge?) I think the background with the trees is totally possible.

yeah i see it now, and do understand how IR translates heat in the image making warm objects white, such as trees. I guess it is the two-dimensional aspect that really threw me. Nice trick. It definitely flatters the John Ross that is othewise so muddy and without any color or contrast - especially when compared to the design renderings. thanks.
