Staircase to the Joseph Wood Hill Park atop Rocky Butte in Portland, Oregon . There was some mist and fog about, causing the lights to glow extra soft. Vertical black-and white photo: a stone staircase arises from the lower left of the frame, and ascends, curving gently to the right and then to the left, to two square stone observation areas jutting up slightly from a stone wall. At the top of the stair case and atop the observation areas, streetlights glow in the mist. Alongside the stairs are evergreen shrubs.

Almost winter sunset in Portland, Oregon, from the Joseph Wood Hill Park atop Rocky Butte. In the background, the sun has dropped just below the treelike, but is still lighting up the thin clouds with yellow, orange, red and purple hues. At the top of the image, the sky is a deep blue where there are no clouds being colored by the sun. In the mid-ground is a jagged line of fir trees silhouetted against the colorful sky. In the foreground, a column rises in silhouette in front of a gap in the tree line. It is crowned by an orange, spiky lantern striving to light the park paths against the loss of daylight.

Heavily green and foliaged scene from the interior of Rocky Butte, a natural amenity in East Portland that deserves to become an official greenspace for the community.

Wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. I hope it's a good day, no matter how you celebrate (or don't - I know it can be a conflicting day for some). I'm going to share this photo of Rocky Butte because it can be such a beautiful place in East Portland, and one I'm grateful for. #rockybutte #portland

Today turned out to be one of those fabulously clear fall days - perfect for a run up #RockyButte.

Good morning, Friday! You are the gateway to summer, the last day of school, and as soon as I saw the moon, I knew what to do. Id planned to charge up #RockyButte on Solstice, but it'll be a new moon by then, so the time was now.

It was simply beautiful out - a lovely way to open the day.
