This first pic is an aerial view looking from the west of the island where I live. This west end is mostly natural and is going through a big fight right now about what will happen to its future. It's proposed to build more terminal space on it and perhaps a connecting bridge. The first bridge you see is for trains, the second is the Interstate 5 bridge that is going to be replaced - someday.
I am lucky tp have visited Portland in the past so I am a bit familiar with the area. I went across that bridge to get to Mount St, Helens.
ReplyDeleteMike - It's become a bottleneck for quite some time and is a nightmare at rush-hour.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a lovely place. Im especially entranced by that last picture.
ReplyDeleteI remember when Los angles had a rush hour. Now it "rush day", the traffic is pretty heavy but for some reason it has never bothered me. Probably because I rarely worked a 9 to 5 job and now I am retired.
ReplyDeleteKarl - You realize all three pix are of different places?
ReplyDeleteMike - Traffic didn't use to bother me until I moved out to this island and get caught in it much more often. Still, it is what it is.
