Seattle and Portland

These are some of the photos I took during an IEEE Computer Society meeting in Portland, Oregon. I spent the first two days in Seattle while visiting Microsoft. Both Portland and Seattle are wonderful cities. At the moment I have a slight preference for Portland.

Wonderful photo choices you have presented here...Glad you came to Portland in our March drought (read here: sun) Your study of architectural textures will make me stop and "look again" at familar landscapes...Thanks for your vision!

It's nice to see images of the place you live (Portland) from another's perspective, Alan. Especially when it's through the lens of what I think is the same gear as I've got. Thanks.

Very colourful Alan. I only had a day in Seattle when I visited Washington. I seem to have spent most of the day taking pictures of a building you didn't feature- EPM. I was totally fascinated by it.:)

Hi Alan, I found here a collection of images that are simply fabulous. I'm sure about passing by much more times. Cheer's from Portugal.

Great gallery of one of the jewels of the Pacific Northwest - Seattle. The Pike Market images are wonderfully colourful and bring back vivid memories. Well done!

Mr. Clements, Thank you for sharing your photos. I came across your site because a friend of mine started posting his photos at this site too. You can see my collection of photos at: www.picturetrail.com/bircher If you scroll to the bottom you can see my Seattle photos. Looking at your photos reminded me of my trip there last year. Sincerely, Sam Antonio
