Happy Fourth everyone! We went up to Seattle and visited with friends and saw a ton of fireworks.

This picture is of the Fremont Bridge in Portland from the riverbank below. Its a really cool industrial area down there.

Considering the heat, I thought I would post a picture I took in Minneapolis when it was 10 below zero. You can't really tell how cold it is from the photo, but trust me it was very cold. I liked the texture of the cracked pavement and what the cold was doing to it.

This was a shot I took while walking along the "wharf" area in Aestoria. I liked the variety of colors in the containers against the duller wall.

The industrial area along the north east side of the river is very interesting. It seamlessly transitions from industrial to small commercial to residential as you move away from the river. Right up from the street this facility is a brewery and a few bars. Up the street from that, is a park, hospital and a school with houses mixed in.

I shot this out the sun roof of my old car. I had looked up a saw this amazing cloud formation while driving through downtown Minneapolis. It was right near sunset so the bulges were catching the warm red light.
