A week ago today I got up early and went for a little drive in the Hillsboro hills. This was a scene I captured shortly after the sun rose, and shortly before the fog rose up to swallow the mountain. (1/14/2026)
I love the fleeting moments where the weather changes on the fringes of the day. Light and shadow. Cloud and clear. Mist and earth. Forest and field.

Sunrise in Coastal Portland
Honestly, the first time I saw a photo from this location I was convinced that it was made up. This was way back in the day, long before AI dominated our feeds with fanciful videos of Kong and Godzilla dancing to CHANEL. But the very idea that a view like this actually existed right here in Portland was practically unimaginable to me.
But I had just moved here from the East coast and the thrill of discovering each and every new Hood View was already a driving force in my photographic journey. When I saw another photo from the same location, with different conditions, posted by a different photographer, I decided maybe this place really was real!
I set out to investigate possible locations in Google maps. And a mere few hours later… I thought I might have nailed it down.
Shortly after that, I paid the place a visit. Guess Wray?! Sure enough, this place is actually real! I posted a photo of it that day... I was immediately accused on Instagram of making it up! Lol. 😂
Some will still say it’s made up. Some will say they love this place and readily admit to visiting. Others will tell you they only ever came here for the wings… Ha ha ha!

Mt. Jefferson looking resplendent for the last sunrise of 2025.
We were lucky enough to get out for last three sunrises of the year. Each was beautiful in it's own way, but this shot made it, perhaps miraculously, all the way to being edited and shared! Wow! This is my first post in quite a while... Does this still work? Is this thing on?🤔 So out of practice! Maybe I'll share more soon!
This year was full of experiences and opportunities to grow. So grateful for all the beauty in the world, despite the challenges we face.
Here's hoping for many more beautiful sunrises and the promise of good things to come in the coming year!
Happy New Year!
