Interstate Commerce

Mount Hood's snow-capped peak rises majestically beyond the industrial sprawl of the Port of Vancouver, Washington, as viewed from Kelley Point Park in Oregon. The crystalline morning light illuminates the mountain's glaciated slopes while cargo ships and port infrastructure create a striking juxtaposition of natural grandeur and maritime commerce. A small aircraft traces across the pale blue sky, adding scale to this panoramic vista where the Columbia River separates two states. — ISO 125 · 250mm · f/10 · 1/320
