OryCon 39: Wy'east From the Mighty Columbia River

3522.
OryCon 39, this year, was at the Red Lion Jantzen Beach Hotel. This, through the many years the 'con was at the Red Lion Columbia River, which was and then was again the Thunderbird, was known as the "Other" Hotel, since for a long time both of them were Red Lions and the Portland fan crowd held so many events at the old Thunderbird.

The sight lines from the back of the ballroom area, which I assayed between two panels in the Art Show, provide for striking views of Wy'east, resplendent under the plentiful snow that the last couple of storm systems have deposited.


The boat mooring in the foreground make for an attractive composition as well.
