I made many trips to the ALCOA plant in Vancouver and several trips up the gorge. My camera was a twin lense reflex and produced absolute beautiful photos. Unfortunately my X wife ended up with my photos and will not return them. I doubt if she even kept them. :evil:

Beautiful photo's, Tom!

I am going to claim that your camera is pointed more NE than E there at Crown Point in the last picture. Then, I'm going to say that if you were to fly as straight as an eagle :wink: , you'd fly across my garden heading off that way.

The weather today isn't quite from that most-usual direction. Walla Walla and NE Oregon are sending us showers!

Beautiful. Thanks for all the pictures. This way I can see the world without ever having to leave home. I am one of the few people who really does not like to travel. I am happy with what I have right at home, but I do enjoy seeing things that I really would never have the opportunity to do otherwise.
