Description

"Vera Katz Esplanade" by Thom Zehrfeld

This is the view from The Vera Katz Eastbank Esplanade which is a cool bike and walking path on Portland, Oregon's East Side. Bicyclist, walkers alike enjoy a magnificent area that parallels the Willamette River and the Waterfront.

The Vera Katz Eastbank Esplanade is one and one half miles long, starting north at the Steel Bridge, and then going south with connections to east side neighborhoods as well as across the river to Gov. Tom McCall Waterfront Park.

It was formally called the " Eastbank Esplanade". It was renamed for former Portland mayor Vera Katz in 2004. Her statue is featured near the Hawthorne Bridge, which is not far from where this image was originated.

The Vera Katz Eastbank Esplanade features a 1,200 foot floating walkway and, is the longest of its kind in the United States. This image also features beautiful reflections of Portland's skyline, the Morrison Bridge and, street lights in the Willamette River.

There is a dead calm in the water which makes the reflections even more pronounced! The Marine Fire Station is the building to the immediate right.

This image has been converted to High Dynamic Range (HDR) by combining three different exposures to give the image more detail and color, and then incorporating a unique painted effect.
