I just gave them all 0s after being solicited to take a Lightroom survey and reprimanded them for not supporting professionals that want to use other cloud storage than CC. The AI features they keep adding are cringe at best. Just let me upscale a damn photo without artifacts but nooooo.

Photographs from the Columbia River Gorge for your Tuesday evening.

Have a good one folks!

#photography #fujifilm #pdx #pnw

The Columbia River Gorge. Pictured here looking west. The Columbia river rinds its way on the border of Oregon and Washington State. Interestingly, the river didn't carve out the gorge. The Columbia River Gorge was created by a combination of ancient volcanic eruptions and massive glacial floods that carved through the landscape over millions of years.

Tiny cars driving on the Washington State side of the Columbia River Gorge. Taken from across the river, above the cars rock faces turn into lush evergreens spotlit by the sun peeking though cloudy skies.

Cars passing each other on I-84 on the Oregon side of the Columbia River. Behind the cars, lush evergreens at the start of autumn. Above the trees, evidence still lurks of the Eagle Creek Fire in 2017, the mountain peaks laid bare with the corpses of burnt trees.

Dead end on a road running parallel to the Columbia River in the gorge. A road descends into an underpass created by a small bridge that carries freight trains. On the supporting structure, a crudely shaped octagon is painted like a stop sign. The sign reads "KEEP OUT".

Photograph of St. Johns Bridge in Portland, OR for your Sunday.

Have a good one folks!

#photography #fujifilm #pdx

St. Johns Bridge is a steel suspension bridge that spans the Willamette River in Portland, Oregon, United States, between the Cathedral Park neighborhood in North Portland and the Linnton and Northwest Industrial neighborhoods in Northwest Portland. It carries the U.S. Route 30 Bypass. It is the only suspension bridge in the Willamette Valley and one of three public highway suspension bridges in Oregon. Pictured here after sunrise, the enormity of the bridge is observed by the small figure of a runner on the sidewalk and a small van on the road.

Photographs from the Columbia River Gorge for your Saturday.

Have a good one folks!

#photography #fujifilm #pnw #pdx

Columbia River Gorge as seen from the Vista House at Crown Point along U.S. Route 30. Pictured here on a partly cloudy day, the sun spot lights parts of I-84 and landmasses on either side of the Columbia River. The river is seen flowing through the landscape parallel to cars and trucks on I-84.

Woman walking into the Vista House at Crown Point on a partly cloudy day. The Vista House was built in the early 1900s, stands tall above the Columbia River Gorge, serving as a picturesque outlook for drivers to stop and observe the landscape.

Latourell Falls in the Columbia River Gorge, pictured here on a cloudy day. The falls shoots straight down at a slight angle into a small pool of water in early autumn. Lichen grows on the rock face either side of the falling water. A creek formed from the overflowing pool streams into the foreground.

Two people on a cliff look out over the Oregon side of the Columbia River Gorge. Sunlight on a partly cloudy day streams onto trees in the distance, spotlighting them where clouds had broken above. Below, water pooling from the deposits of waterfalls along the Columbia River Gorge.

Portland Aerial Tram connects Portland’s South Waterfront and Marquam Hill. Pictured here, the tram departs going uphill. Below the tram bicycle storage for the many people coming and going OHSU, the local hospital. "Go By Tram" is lit in neon on a sign attached to a OHSU building. Remnants of the Port of Portland sit adjacent to the property.

A pink house with pink Smart Car parked in front on SW Naito Parkway. The house is decorated for Halloween. Orange lights in a second story porch light a pink skeleton dangling a second skeleton from the porch, holding the skeleton upside down.

Soccer practice on the fields outside the Under Armour global innovation hub in SW Portland. Apartment buildings flanking the park the soccer field and track is in surround trees with leaves that are changing autumnal colors.

Horsetail Falls as cloudy conditions roll in over the Columbia River Gorge.

Have a good one folks!

Horsetail Falls, a natural attraction off U.S. Route 30 in Oregon. The waterfall twists around rock formations covered in lichens and moss until falling into a small pool. Sparse trees line the hillside above the waterfall under cloudy conditions.

Another look at the Hunter's Moon over Portland.

#photography #fujifilm #pdx

The Hunter's Moon over NE Portland after moon rise. Trees in the foreground recede into buildings from The Pearl District, Union Station, and the Steel Bridge. Farther back, the Rose Quarter and Lloyd Center, receding into neighborhoods of Northwest Portland, obscured by trees. The foothills to the Cascades fade into the background.

Sweet dreams Portland.

Hunter's Moon, which is also the Harvest Moon and the first supermoon of the year, pictured here above Portland, OR.

Mount Hood is seen in the right side of the frame after sunset, creating a symmetry with the full moon on the left side of the frame. Downtown Portland spreads from the foreground into the distance, where the eastern neighborhoods fade into the foothills of the Cascades.

Person sitting in a bus stop in front of Portland Community College on the corner of N Killingsworth and N Albina in Portland, OR.

The front facade of Tulip Shop Tavern in NE Portland. The front of the building is painted black with colorful tulip motifs painted around the windows, neon lights in the shape of tulips, and a sign backed in black featuring a hand holding a tulip in white. A bicycle is parked in front of the building. The tree next to the Tulip Shop Tavern has dying leaves, one of the first casualties to autumn. Shoes dangle from power lines next to the tree.

Flyer on the side of a telephone pole in NE Portland that says "ICE OUT OF PORTLAND".

The front facade of Mississippi Records in NE Portland. A delivery man approaches the door to the closed business while an older couple appearing pensive sit on a bench after eating at Sweedeedee, a neighborhood cafe next door (not pictured here). A parked car blocks the view of the building partially. Behind the car, an electrical meter caked in stickers.

Latourell Falls for your Sunday morning.

Latourell Falls, a waterfall along the Columbia River Gorge in the U.S. state of Oregon, within Guy W. Talbot State Park. Pictured here from a trail, the falls is framed within forest growth. The falls drops in a straight line to a small pool. A vibrant yellow-green lichen grows on the rocks next to Latourell Falls.

Two people enter Movie Madness, a video rental store still in operation on SE Belmont St in Portland, OR . The marquee above the entrance reads "Movie Madness Video & More. Portland's Landmark Video Rental Store. Over 95000 Rentals and Growing." A large M in the style of a monster movie shines in neon in one window while another neon sign in another window reads "Movie Madness. Hard to Find Video".
