Maryhill Stonehenge, Washington State, United States

It was a beautiful Sunday morning and a perfect timing to be back to Portland, Oregon after a year.  These snaps are of Maryhill Stonehenge in the Washington State of United States
Referring wikipediaMaryhill Stonehenge is a replica of Stonehenge located in Maryhill, Washington. It was commissioned in the early 20th century by businessman Samuel Hill and dedicated on July 4, 1918 as a memorial to those that died in World War I. Driving on Historic Columbia River Highway, it was a beautiful scenic drive all along Columbia River to reach this place. On a clear day with Mt. Hood looking majestic in the backdrop, this place is simply gorgeous to enjoy natural beauty.

Silicon Valley, a bird's eye view

These snaps are taken en route from San Jose, California to Portland, Oregon. Snaps show a bird's eye view of Silicon Valley taken from the flight. The sixth snap is of Crater Lake, located in Southern Oregon on the crest of the Cascade Mountain range, 100 miles (160 km) east of the Pacific Ocean. It lies inside a caldera, or volcanic basin, created when the 12,000 foot (3,660 meter) high Mount Mazama collapsed 7,700 years ago following a large eruption. And in the last snaps, one case see The Columbia River Gorge, an 80-mile geologic wonder that forms the border between northern Oregon and southern Washington, is proof of Nature's unbridled strength.
