I think the highlight of my trip to Portland was the Portland Japanese Garden. I’ve long loved the peacefulness and beauty of Japanese gardens, and this one was no exception. Built over several acres and including five different traditional garden types, it is wonderful to wonder through the meandering paths with the discovery of new views and beauties. The Iris photos I posted about a few days ago were taken in this garden near the large waterfall and pond you’ll see in these photos.
This gallery also includes a mixture of the regular, single-frame, digital photography (perhaps you can call it “traditional”) and high dynamic range (HDR) imaging techniques which combines multiple exposures to cover a broader range of brightness in a scene. I hope that the HDR images here have proved mostly successful.
I invite you to vicariously enjoy this beautiful garden at the gallery linked below.
