A Long View Down Hawthorne Blvd

3885

So late this afternoon we were westbound coming out of downtown via the Hawthorne Bridge and the light and the angle were just right, and I pointed my camera out front of the car and made it pretend it was a telephoto by zooming in real tight.

The stretch of road that got lensed here was approximately from SE 7th Avenue to SE 20th. At 20th, which is the northeast corner of Ladd's Addition, the street itself jogs to the south approximately the width of the street itself, which puts it out of full view from this POV; however, the telephone poles along the north side of the street still can be seen, until they top the crest at SE 28th Avenue and the landscape drops again to the retail district along upper Hawthorn. From this vantage the only thing that can be seen is the humpback form of Mount Tabor.

Mount Tabor itself is about three miles east of the spot I snapped the picture from.
