“ If the city is not well-designed, its impact on the surrounding nature will be lethal.” ~Javier Cenicacelaya
It’s not perfect, I know, no city is, but overall Portland, Oregon is such a beautiful city. I feel fortunate to live here and love its mixture of urbanity and nature, the blend of bikes, joggers, and walkers all sharing existence with the autos, buses, trucks and the hustle and bustle of city life.
Here is a HDR (High Definition Image) image that expresses some of what I’m saying. It’s interesting to me, in that it captures time. Since it’s a compilation of three images of different exposures, there are three images of each jogger as they travel on their journey. I, of course, could have eliminated the “extra” two, but it seemed more interesting to leave them, thus capturing part of their passage and, in effect, time itself.
Enjoy,
Tom
