Day three was a visit to OMSI, which was also very cool -- but it poured rain all day while we were there, and it's not really much of a place for shooting photos, anyway.
However, the visit did give me the chance to scope out spots along the east side of the river and I found one place right at the edge of the OMSI parking lot which had access to the river's edge -- then came back that night to shoot a bunch of evening photos.
The first set were all cool, but dark. Then I figured out that I needed to adjust the shutter speed and BOOM - that solved it.
Part of my 1/365 project: 1 photo per day for 365 days.

Ahhh...my beautiful homecity. The KOIN Tower (the funny shaped orange building in the middle) has always been my favorite part of the skyline.
