I was riding with a friend a few weeks ago when I spotted this scene for just an instant. We were on our way from Hillsboro, OR to Seattle, WA for a pizza. Yup, I said pizza. If you gotta ask you don't like to ride. I made a mental note that this river house was just a few miles down Washington Highway 4.
I returned with all my camera gear the next weekend at sunrise. The lighting was perfect so I set up my tripod & gear and fired away. The resulting photograph now hangs on my wall as a matted, framed work of art. I tried twice again to return to that same spot but weather fogged me in both times. I guess this is as good as it gets.

I wonder if you would say that if you saw me standing there with my tripod & camera 18 inches from rush hour traffic. It was a tad nerve racking. I had to park the bike on a piece of shoulder as wide as a car. The walk on the edge of he road to take the shot was down right dangerous. The best shots always are. LOL
 
Bet the folks that own that house would buy a print from you in a jiffy, Bob. Nice work!

I wouldn't have thought there was any traffic near that spot. I guess one never thinks about what's behind the photographer.......
 
Crazyman - There's a wonderful curvy, twisting road, highway 4, that follows the Columbia River all the way to the Pacific Ocean and highway 101. It's not only photogenic it's a great motorcycle ride. On the Oregon side its counterpart is Highway 30 to Astoria, OR. Check out a map to see the two roads I've mentioned.
