more with the SLR in beautiful happy vally. I really ought to find out the name of this bluff that I was standing on when I took these. overlooking both clackamas and happy valley, it's a good place to be. I'm sure it'll suck when they get the money to finish building the houses they're putting on it, but so far so good.

I love taking pictures in happy valley. I took a bunch there recently, here's the first one, SLR, from a hill. there will be more a commin'.

i'm really in love with mt. scott and happy valley:

continuing in the docu mentation of why the two fall into the "zach's favorite parts of portland" category.

the sentence was a bit awkward.

Happy Valley

it you're in portland, headed south, and east, around the johnson's creek and 82nd area, you might think, "oh, so here's where Portland gets trashy." and you'd be right. but look east, at mt scott, and know that the beauty continues on the other side. this is happy valley. it's suburban. people have nice cars, and are isolated from portland, and their kids probably aren't allowed to go into the city until they're 16 or something. but it's really pretty. i think, at least.
