Tri-Met 2295 at 18th and Morrison


Here is another photograph from my trip to Portland in October. I arrived on Saturday and the following day I took a 10 mile walk around the areas near downtown.

The photo is of a Tri-Met New Flyer bus about to trun right onto 18th Avenue. PGE Park where the Portland minor league baseball team played before moving to Southern California is behind me.

I was pleasantly surprised on how well this photo came out as this was just a spur of the moment shot.

MAX train leaving Rose Quarter station


Back in October I attended an event in Portland, Oregon. The event I attended was in downtown and the motel I stayed at was on the east side of downtown on Burnside Avenue.

One of the nice things was that I was able to use transit for my entire stay in the city so I did not have the added expense of renting a car.

This photo was taken of a MAX light rail train leaving the Rose Quarter Station for Clackamas. The line to Clackamas (the Green Line) is Portland's newest light rail line.

I wasn't sure how well this picture would come out considering the sun was starting to set and I was standing under Interstate 5 which passes over the Rose Quarter Station.
