Trolley picture of the day, if that day was a few days ago

A eastbound E-W streetcar at the station just west of the trolley bridge

I was changing trains at the station on the west end of the new trolley bridge, and while waiting for either the #19 bus or a Milwaukie-bound train this E/W trolley showed up. It looked nice and warm (the station does not have more than the absolute minimum shelter from the wind, and it was getting COLD) so I was tempted to hop a ride across the bridge, but didn’t.

At least a southbound interurban showed up not more that 4 minutes later.

Almost the golden hour

Looking east from Crown Point at almost the golden hour 2

Julie & I rode out to Multnomah Falls to could catch some fall colo(u)rs on a sunny sunday afternoon, and it did not disappoint. When we were coming back, the sun was shining up the gorge and in person (plus cataracts) it was pretty spectacular when we reached Crown Point for the second time. (The iphone – I forgot to bring my good camera, alas – did a pretty good job of capturing it, though it wasn’t quite the same.)
