i'm presently laying in bed, where i've been for most of the past 24 hours after being sent home from work for what was probably a panic attack. i thought i was bleeding internally (i wasn't), and the next thing i knew i was prostate on the bathroom floor, nauseated and in a cold sweat. i'm feeling better but i've been unusually tired since said event. i went to sleep after my father brought me home, woke up long enough to watch tuesday's lost episode, and went back to sleep.
now it's 3 30, and i've found enough energy to post a few more pics form portland.
these are from monday morning, when i drove out to the columbia river gorge and then hood river, before looping around mt. hood. the columbia river forms a gorge as it approaches portland and the confluence of the willamette. I-84 runs right along the river, but the scenic byway follows the bluffs above, where you can get these kinds of views.
the waterfall is multnomah falls, one of a handful of falls descending into the columbia just east of portland. in fact, all of these pics were taken less than an hour out of the city. multnomah falls is the second highest falls (six hundred something feet) in the US, second only to niagara.
the little red barn is in the orchard country near hood river. hood river is known for windsurfing and apple orchards, and it wasn't windsurfing season. (plenty of wind, just too cold). just behind the orchards is mt. hood, at 11,ooo feet, but the sun was positioned so that i couldn't get any good pics. sorry. . .
