Vancouver/Portland

Not my usual photo subject but last July I was playing around with how well I could see downtown Portland from the northwest corner of the Vancouver area where I live using the telephoto lens on my drone. Downtown Portland in the distance is approximately 14 miles as a crow flies from where the drone was hovering. I wish we had clouds and rain like this right about now as we have been mostly clear skies since this was shot.

C&C always welcome.

Wow! Now that's really cool that you can see downtown Portland. I wonder how it would look ax it gets darker and the lights of the city come on?

Thanks Jim - I have taken some images during sunsets and will be shooting more as sunsets get earlier and we get rid of the summer haze with fall rains.

Nice view of the city. When there is color in the sky as well as the foliage, this will be quite the view.

Thanks Jameel - I have been scrolling back through all of the various images I have shot around my area looking for views of the deciduous trees. I have not had the opportunity to shoot fall in the NW from the perspective of a drone before and it looks like there might be a lot more opportunities for color than we usually see up here in from the ground. Especially when I start to factor in the telephoto lens :)
