All these photographs are ones I took during our seven years of life in Portland. We were living there from June 14th, 1992 to September 11th, 1999. I should have stayed there.
The sand dunes of Florence on the coast of Oregon. I took this in about May 1994.Mt. Hood. I took this photo from inside Timberline Lodge, which sits at about 5,000 feet up the slope of this beautiful volcano. I believe this is from May 1993. The lodge might actually be at the 7.000 feet level. I have to double check that.The Columbia River Gorge. One of my photos from 1994. We were returning from a trip to Mt. St. Helens, in Washington. We had just crossed the Columbia River into Oregon.Mt. Hood. We were hiking up the slope right behind Timberline Lodge. I took this photo in July 1994.June 14th, 1992, or thereabouts. We were crossing the Columbia River from Washington and into Oregon. We were seeing Oregon for the first time. A few hours later we commenced being Oregonians, and Portlanders. The night before we had stayed in a motel, with three contraband cats we brought from Tampa. That was our last overnight stay during our 3,000+ mile move. We stayed in Co in the Tri-Cities area of Washington before we reached our new home in Southwest Portland.This is one of my favorite photos I took while living in Oregon. This is the reflection of sky and water flora in a mirror still part of the Sandy River that flows through Oxbow Park (which was featured in the NBC program Grimm decades later). Oxbow Park is in Multnomah County east of Troutdale, which is east of Portland. I took this photo in about 1994-96. I’m pretty sure it was about that time because I think we were living in NE Portland then.A photo of photos of Oregon. Mostly shots of the Columbia River Gorge. A couple are postcards, like the one of Vista House, which is the photo in the upper right.The Columbia River Gorge near Hood River. I think I took this in June 1992 when we stopped for lunch there on our way to our new life in Portland. That’s Washington on the far side.A store in Hebo, Oregon. This was next door to the greasy spoon we had dinner in. I took this in about 1994.I probably took this photo in Fall 1994. To me this just symbolizes Fall evening weather in Portland. We were walking south along NW 10th, toward W. Burnside. The building in the background on the right side of the road, the one with half-circle windows on upper level, is the legendary Powell’s City of Books.
