I'm trying to take more pictures that show more of the Portland environment, not something that could have been taken anywhere. So while the train station clock tower is the main feature in the middle ground, the foreground shows the Riverplace apartments (the red and white block-buildings, recently expanded), and behind are other new NW Portland apartment/loft buildings (not quite Pearl District, but feeding the same demographic). Behind is the West Hills, near Forest Park. The very near foreground shows the tops of boats docked on the Willamette.

I meant to post earlier, but Flickr was closed for maintenance. I'll have to update the post with more details, EXIF data, when I get home. [updated] It was a maximum-zoom (10X) shot from the opposite side of the river, so it gets that compressed look

[What does 'EXIF' stand for? Anyone?]
