Well, I’m spending the night in Portland. No, I haven’t found a way to teleport myself back to Oregon. I’m in Portland, Victoria, Australia. This is the oldest city in Victoria, first settled in 1835 which pre-dates Portland Oregon’s incorporation by 16 years. I drove up here from Port Campbell along the Great Ocean Road. It was a cloudy day with only a few sun breaks, so I didn’t do too much shooting. I did do some scouting of locations that I will shoot on the way back down when the weather will, hopefully, be more photogenic. One positive note is that I’ve found some places that I can do my coastal aerials that aren’t packed with Chinese Tour Buses. There are actually more Sea Stacks up in the area above Port Campbell than there are at the 12 Apostles, but they aren’t quite as tall. That just means that I’ll have to fly a little lower for the same effect.
This is called the Arch.
This is London Bridge. It used to be two arches, but a few years ago the left arch connecting to the mainland collapsed.
This is called The Grotto.
As I mentioned, there were clouds today.
These strange flowers are almost black with bright lime green centers.
Welcome to Portland. You can see overcast sky in the background. At least they got that right.
