Troutdale Gazebo |
Troutdale, Oregon is a tad off of I84, maybe fifteen minutes east of Portland, and on the way to the Columbia Gorge. It possesses a quaint, little and cool downtown, with neat cool facades in front of most of the buildings.
So, if you are a tourist, it is located close to a major tourist-trap-type-outlet-mall...Drive a block up the street. Hey! And, when you get there, I guess you could call their downtown a bit of a tourist trap, too, but "without the gouging thingy"! It's a must and wonderful place to visit..so, make a decision...VISIT!
They feature a nice/neat/sanitary General Store, that I would have immensley liked to have gone to inside and photographed , but they plain don't allow it. Their store displays are outstanding and I can understand them not wanting to divulge their trade secrets to sneaky low life competitors.
My wife and I had lunch at a place called "Ristorante Di Pompello". Absolutely outstanding! I'm giving them a plug...maybe PLUG! They deserve it! Best and Italian food around! And, I am a mean Italian Food Lover!
All the photos here were shot in High Dynamic Range (HDR) and processed thru Photomatix and Photoshop Elements. Please enjoy!

Fabulous, vibant and dramatic photography, Thom. I love Oregon, too; my son and family lives in Beaverton, so I am familiar with all the marvelous scenery. Your Blog is impressive and beautifully designed. Cheers from Elinor
