American Northwest Trip, 2017: Portland Waterfront

Photos from my walk along the Portland waterfront, as well as my ride on the Portland Aerial Tram, which carries passengers between the waterfront district and Marquam Hill. I also included a few photos of Portland viewed from high up in my apartment. It’s such a lovely city.

Photos of the Day: Out of the Fog

March 28, 2017February 18, 2018 Michael Rappa2 Comments

As I was walking along the waterfront boardwalk in Nova Scotia’s capital city of Halifax, I spotted this ship that appeared to emerge from an endless sea of fog (the camera picked up land in the distance that had been invisible to the naked eye).

I can’t decide which photo I like more, so I’m including both. The first photo is softer, reflecting the enveloping fogginess I recall from that day. The second photo, with ship further removed from the fog, is sharper, and I like the juxtaposition of the tiny duck next to it.
