| Westward Bound: Both — the sun and Columbia River. (The Columbia River flows westward and empties itself in the Pacific Ocean) |
A Columbia River sunset. A few pictures form the Interstate Bridge that connects Portland and Vancouver – WA.

| A late evening shot from the Interstate Bridge on I-5. The Columbia River, which flows here plays the border between the states of Washington and Oregon. USA. |
The above pictures were shot on a cell phone camera, and from a moving car; I just had to catch that late-evening light and thatΒ irresistible scene before we passed all of it.

Catching the light
The great US plains and mountains create such dramatic landscape and sunsets…the second picture with the slanting grill / railing evokes so many emotions…
And the Pacific Northwest is so, so beautiful.
That was part of one of those bridges between WA and OR.
Thank you, Prasad.

Welcome here, Yogi. π
Beautiful cloudy photos

Loved those dark looming clouds. Nice frame, Divya. π
I wish I could have stopped and taken pictures from a proper camera.
Thank you Nomad. π
A nice atmosphere!
Isn't it? The magic of dusk, I guess.
Thank you for visiting, Villrose. π
Such dark billowing clouds.. approaching dusk ..purple, golden,, blue, velvety … magical .
Ah! and that is a poetic line that goes well with the pictures. Thank you, Kokila. π
It seems to be a great place to spend some nice relaxed time.
It is.
I've been through this area several times, but never got to spend some time around this part of the river. Later on, there should be a post about the area near the estuary of this river.
An Excellent Click…. Well timed!
Thank you.
It was actually a chance shot. Couldn't resist taking a picture. In reality that evening sky was much more beautiful. π

I kind of like that one too even though that's a smudgy silhouette.
Thank you so much, Amit. π
and you have done all justice that can be done with a mobile phone capture π super clicks π
Thank you. I wish I could have stopped and taken a picture. Better still if I had my SLR. Not that I'm great at low-light photography, but I'd have been a happier girl. π
