Sea of Clouds

Taken from the top of Pill Hill in Portland, Mount Hood rises above a sea of clouds in this winter sunrise from a few years ago.

Wow - you had one of the best views for sunrises in the whole Portland area up on that hill. Quite a stunning color show from up there. With a fog bank like this one I wouldn't be able to fly my drone high enough to clear it with a 400' flight ceiling.

Awesome light and the low clouds just takes it up a notch. Must be a pretty tall hill. Has the look of a drone image.

What Michael is calling Pill Hill is the OHSU Campus on top of one of the tallest hilltops in Portland and is where he used to work. It's about 5-600' elevation while the Portland airport is at sea level.

That's such a cool location! I think I recall hearing about Pill Hill before, but could be mistaken. But one thing that isn't mistaken is just how cool this image is.
