St. Johns Bridge Portland, Oregon

We frequently hear visitors to our booth at Portland Saturday Market mistakenly call the St. Johns Bridge "Cathedral Bridge" and the Willamette River "St. Johns River"?    

Further, we heard one visitor tell his guests that the bridge was built over 200 years ago . . . Lewis and Clark would have really appreciated having the bridge waiting for them!

Come to Mesman Images booth 216 near the food court and see our pictures/canvases and digital paintings of Portland's most beautiful bridge or check out our YouTube video about the making of the picture below.

Triptych of Oregon Landmarks #4

The Portland Convention Center was photographed in the Spring when the Cherry Trees put on give quite a show. The Center is known for its twin spire towers which, recently, have become known for being illuminated annually on September 11 in memory of the events of 9/11. The "Made in Oregon" neon sign has become a thing, as the words "Made In" have been replaced with "Portland". Finally, Steel Bridge looms large over the flowering trees at Waterfront Park.

You can purchase this framed triptych or others from our Fine Art Photography website
