St Johns Bridge, snow, 45 seconds
A pinhole image of the St Johns Bridge made the sunday before Christmas. Snow in Portland is so rare, this is actually the first time I had ever been able to take photos of this bridge in it, and I sure didn't waste any time getting down there, even as the roads became icier and slicker and most people were heading home, I was heading out. It was a wonderful evening. This was shot just about 3:30 so not 20 minutes later it was pretty dark.
Taken with the Josey Peterson Memorial Zero Image pinhole.

very cool! Somehow I don't think this was taken yesterday though. Was it during last month's snow?
I love the long lines from the logs leading into the water and the bridge towers. Cathedral Park is a great spot!

You are correct Carolyn, this shot was the sunday before Christmas. I have one other two other pics from that day posted by the way. One is the shot straight down the bridge of the tower and the other is the pinhole shot of the statue of legs with the bridge in the background, all three were the results of my hurried attempts to shoot as much as possible of the bridge in the snow. Happens so seldom.
