The positive side of being up early today was that it wasn’t as early as I have been waking up.  I think I got about 6-7 hours of sleep last night.  Can’t complain about that!  I hope this means I am getting on the other side of the insomnia.  Keep your fingers crossed.

I took advantage of being up early and the fact it is a clear day today and took some sunrise pictures again.  I had an idea of where I would go this time – and it worked out.  Would have worked out better if I could have taken my DSLR versus Garbanzo’s point & shoot, but that’s what happens when I leave the camera on and plugged into the computer all night.  Thankfully, I actually chose Garbanzo’s camera for him as a gift, so I knew it wouldn’t be too disappointed.

 

 

That’s Mount St Helens on the left.  And those lines running through the picture are for the tram.  Oregon Health Sciences University is a hospital and medical school that is “up on the hill”.  When they needed to expand, they got a plan approved to build on the riverfront and connect the two locations with a tram.  And, the view is of downtown Portland.
