Most Oregonians recognize this picture as the trail to Multnomah Falls. The teasing glance of
white water coming from beneath the bridge speaks not only of the peacefulness and beauty of an
autumn day, but of anticipation of walking up the winding trail that leads to that historic bridge. So
many of us have stood on that bridge, gazing on one of the best vistas the falls has to offer. A few
souls choose to continue that trail as it winds to the top, a climb that will prove there is a much less
photographed view of that great landmark. This point is where the peaceful river becomes the
powerful falls. The story this photo tells me is about peace, perspective and a real Oregon experience.

This photo grabbed my eye for many reasons. First, the composition is simple
and unfettered. The splash of blue Is in striking contrast to the surrounding field
of an industrial metallic color. Second, the strong circular shape in the middle of
the composition appears to be a viewing point that kx>ks into a tank of some sort,
giving the viewer a voyeuristic glimpse into another world. What's in there?
Where is this hole? It doesn't quite create a narrative, hut 1 keep finding myself
looking for more clues in identifying what's happening. The Interest and Intrigue
that this composition creates are what keep bringing me back. Which leads me
to the final reason 1 picked this photo: 1 just couldn't keep my eyes off it! Does
that make me a voyeur? I guess I've learned a little bit about myself tixlay.

I find this image submitted in the environment category captivating the urban sense of
the word. Trash bins are as familiar if not more prevalent in an urban setting than trees.
The bright color of the chairs amid the dreary, overcast lighting holds n bit of promise. The
paint crudely left to cover older graffiti only to be tagged again is something I see on my
daily walks. Knowing from the identification of the trash bln company that this is not
Portland only adds to how common this urban environment exists in the world.
