Mount Hood rises majestically through the amber-tinted atmosphere as golden hour light bathes Portland's North Harbor along the Columbia River. The snow-capped volcanic peak provides a dramatic backdrop to the bustling waterfront community, where colorful houseboats and maritime structures line the calm waters near Portland International Airport. Small aircraft can be seen ascending through the warm, hazy sky, while pleasure boats dot the serene river channel that flows between forested shores. — ISO 640 · 250mm · f/18 · 1/100

A U.S. Air Force Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker aerial refueling aircraft photographed in flight from below against a flat, overcast white sky. The aircraft is painted in overall grey and bears "U.S. AIR FORCE" lettering on the fuselage. "USAF" is stenciled on the vertical stabilizer, with "AFRC" and "MARCH" unit markings and the tail number 23507 visible near the tail. Four podded jet engines are mounted under the swept wings. The aircraft's boom refueling equipment is visible extending from the rear of the fuselage. A U.S. national insignia roundel appears on the fuselage. The tight telephoto framing isolates the aircraft cleanly against the grey-white sky. — ISO 200 · 250mm · f/13 · 1/125
