The city has a wonderful vibe. Drenched in the winter time, it offers very little sunlight, but it's hippie vibe makes it lovely. Portland is best known for it's incredible cuisine, friendliness and weirdness at the same time. And to me, its architecture and landscape reminds me so much of the socio-realism style the Communist era has endowed Poland - the combination of concrete and steel bathed in chaotic green landscape.
St. John's Bridge
Columbia River
My first hiking trip in the Northwest. Above the river, there's the Washington state. Equally as rainy.
