FIVE PICTURE FRIDAY!!

Taken February 19, 2024

Just across the river from Portland, Fort Vancouver sits near various freeways, somewhat ignored. Established by the Hudson Bay Company in 1842 as a fur trading post, the site quickly became the center of white settlement in the Oregon territory and was a working military barracks and airfield through World War II. Now a National Historic site, dozens of aging buildings offer the local community a lovely park, museum, and getaway from the daily grind.

About “Five Picture Friday”

Every other Friday, I produce a short photo-essay on an interesting location. I try to capture the essence of the place, distilled down into a few images. It’s a fun way to practice my photography, and I hope you enjoy a little armchair travel!

An interruption from the Real World…

For those few of you who are strangely curious about my real job, I was recently a guest on a small Podcast talking about my work in Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) and sustainability. You can listen here:
