Oregon's Historic Highway 30 ---with a "painterly" eye
From Troutdale, just east of Portland, Highway 30 runs along the mountains above the Columbia River and above I-84, the only west-east freeway in the state. It twists and turns and provides a beautiful view of the area. I was able to photograph fall along the highway, only to discover my photos were all "soft." I blame it on a new lens I use, which has disappointed me with focusing from the beginning. So I chose some of my favorite views and edited them with Topaz's Impression 2, a "paint" effect. I can capture the color but not the details, unfortunately.

Beautiful bridge work at Latourelle Falls
Most of the old highway features these wonderful white wooden guardrails.

Wow, I am impressed by these scenes and you have captured them so well. Bravo!!!
I certainly recognized all of the views! If you haven't done it, I recommend you do the old road between Mosier and The Dalles. Wonderful picture opportunities.
All are beautiful, though I love the shot of the bridge!
These were lovely. Fall is such a beautiful season.
