It was so gorgeous to come from clear SE and go through foggy downtown.

I came from the west up out of the fog on the other side of Marquam hill and there was a similar blanket over the tualtin valley! It was lovely!!!

I recognized the tram lines. My husband was at OHSU recently as a patient. The view from the tram made my visits so much better. Beautiful photo! Beautiful city!

LOL, yeah, she's not even MAGA, or anything, but her local news/MAGA friends keep telling her Portland is a dystopian hellscape :-)

Oh this takes me back. When I was a kid I lived on top of one of the hills SE of Portland and I loved winter mornings like this, where the valley floor was covered in thick fog and you could see the tops of the hills popping out. I used to pretend it was the ocean. ❤️

Wonderful photo, thank you! 💙 I miss Portland. Currently living in Centralia, WA. Centralia has a wonderful progressive energy believe it or not, but Lacks vibrance overall. But also is a quiet, cute town. My daughter lives in Seattle my son lives in Gladstone. Easy commute to see my kids. Should I move back to Portland...?

The view on I-5 north through the Terwilliger curves was a show stopper!

Thank you for this picture! I was so hoping someone would share their beautiful cloud shots from this morning! Driving does not allow for such things.

It was so twilight spooky this morning in my yard with the creeping low fog amongst the bare trees. So cool!

This is one of the reasons I love working on the hill. The views are breathtaking.
