From the Sabin Plateau looking down on the Irvington area of NE Portland. Twisting tree at the bottom was an eye-catcher for me.

I thought the blue background worked in an interesting way with the red of the Japanese Maple.

Fall Flora Continues

I still have a bit of an inventory of Fall images to post. I hope they are visually interesting and don’t bore the visitors to the site to sleep or worse…..Due to timing and circumstances ( weather, etc.) I have not been able to pursue some photo ideas and field trips this Fall. Hopefully I will get the opportunity soon.

DSC_3137-001 The winner of this race was boat#180, the blue sailboat, with #131 coming in a close second. In the second image, in the background, you can see the north side of the Boeing Renton Plant, where all of the 737 models are assembled, including the one parked outside the large door.

RC Regatta: Pt. 1

On November 10, 2013 By Fred KingIn boat, Nikon D7000, SeattleLeave a comment

South Lake Washington on a Saturday morning recently. These sailboats are controlled remotely. The operator of the sailboats controls the rudder and mast with the large RC unit they carry around, guiding their scale model sailboats around a course, just as the full sized versions do. It really takes many of the sailing skills to navigate these boats as it does a full sized version.
