An assemblage of photos from a lazy August. First Thursday, Departure (yes, I did go back), the peninsula... I've always loved, and rarely get to see, that view of Portland from the bluffs above the river for its perspective of the Cascades running south along the east side of the valley. Exhale. Another summer.

"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."
