Destroyers on the Willamette
20060611173
Portland’s annual Rose Festival is in session and by tradition a fleet of ships is currently docked in the Willamette at Waterfront Park. This happens to be two blocks from where I work but the daytime view didn’t seem overly interesting. Rather, here are some night photos, sans tripod.

The only disappointment came in that I was counting on finding Navy Boi lurking around shipside. Maybe next year.
On a side note, if you’re ever inclined to shoot numerous photos of military subjects at night, be prepared to answer questions such as where are you from, why didn’t you come during the day to take photos and can I see the photos please.

Skateboards and bikes are better at nights. 0 comments.
That’s pretty awesome. I don’t recall ever having seen a destroyer. Big city cool!
if you really wanna catch navy boi lurking, i would look on the floor of some redneck bar in san diego.
Why are you taking top secret photos of my ships Mr. Panther??? i will aloww this one to slide but if this talk of airplanes and now photos of the greatest war ships in the world continues i will be forced to treat you as a terrorist to my country and deal with you accordingly! or i will do nothing cuz i am far too lazy, the later seems to be much more likely.
