I rode the Bridge Pedal last week with friends and family, and left early enough to avoid the gridlock. Like much of the past month or so, the air and light felt more autumnal than anything (not the greatest for photo contrast), although, according to the Oregonian, that statement just proves the frailty of human perception. All of these pictures are from the Marquam and Fremont interstate bridges. Hopefully someday the Marquam will look more like this.

"Ross Island, the bridge's namesake, was at one time home to a famous distillery. McArthur's Oregon Geographic Names, an indispensable work, says the island was once legendary for its "'Blue Ruin' whiskey of pioneer days . . . it was a fluid of high voltage." The distillery is gone, and now it is home to a large number of Blue Heron rookeries."
