Hey thats my shot! How neat.
It almost looks like we are on a giant (flat) chest with Mt Rainier as one stony nipple and with the city being the other that has some how eroded into this frayed metal and glass thing. But maybe that’s just the mezcal talking. Yes. I suppose that’s it.

I would say the view of Mt. Hood through downtown Portland from Washington Park’s Rose Test Garden is equally stunning.
That shot is from the Skyscrapercity banner isn’t it? Me likey.

Are you kidding? That sky looks toxic as hell.
