Downtown Eugene from Skinners Butte

D3-012310-175

This view of downtown Eugene is from the top of Skinners Butte, looking south with Spencers Butte in the distance. That is the main street, Willamette, in the center.

I headed for the top of Skinners Butte to catch the lights at dawn. When I got to the gate to the park, it was closed. So I had to climb the butte to get my shot, but it was worth it.

That's a great photo of the area! I'm glad you got up early to show it to us.

Great colors, just coming out in the morning light. I like the low cloud.

Magic light, Vern. Superb image. V!

I think this shot of yours should replace the city's official one taken from the same place but without the sensual lighting.

Early bird catches worm! It's fun to see Eugene from this perspective.

It's a BEAUTY! Looks like the tallest building is about 15 stories? That's a nice sized city, not too big, but big enough to have good stuff like restaurants and stores.

Beautiful composition and light, Vern.

Great scene; wonderful low clouds and city lights; well worth the ascend to the top of the hill.
