I work for a Danish wind energy company called Vestas. I maintain wind turbines in Alberta, Canada. Vestas' North American headquarters are in Portland, Oregon. This is the third time I have been sent here since starting with the company in January of 2012. All technicians are sent here for training. Here are a few pictures from random trips I have taken on weekends while here. Gotta do something to pass the time..
This above is a picture of Multnomah Falls. Upper falls are 542 ft and lower falls are 69 ft tall. There was approximately 1 mile hike up to the top.
This is a picture of me at the platform at the top of the falls. This was taken in January '12, hence the toque (I am Canadian after all)
A picture of the Pacific Coast taken south of Astoria, Oregon.
This is a picture of the fabled 'Spruce Goose'. An airplane built by Howard Hughes almost exclusively of birch.
One of the first stealth planes from the '60's. More than enough space and air museums in the Pacific Northwest.
A picture of Mount Saint Helens from the north. We were told to go to the north side of the mountain as the south side doesn't have a good view of the crater. Glad we listened.
Thanks for looking.
