This place is called Angel's Rest...but I doubt Angels rest here anymore since it was brutally murdered and burned by the dirtbag 33,000-acre forest fire last September.

It's in the Gorge outside of Portland, Oregon, where I lived last year. Hiking here is amazing because you can take pictures of stunning views while pretending to be a badass (the pictures make the trail look way more difficult than it actually is).

I happened to get a shot of this bird and it somehow magically wasn't blurry. At least, I'm pretty sure it was magic because I'm the type of person who's really good at making a still shot look blurry lol.

How you caught that bird on camera without getting a giant-blurry-weird-looking-blurry-winged-dot is amazing in itself. And a gorgeous bird to top it off. Well done you!

It is magical, it's so clear and obvious, just beautiful!

Pretty Great shot indeed! I do hope that the forest murder wasn't that grave.

How was life in Oregon? (in terms of rent, job-market; I see nature is wonderful!)
