A nice bird watching place in the Tualatin Hills Nature Park which is within walking distance from us.

There is a tram line close by our place which connects to the city and even to the airport. In the background you can see one of the tram grade crossings which are pretty elaborate and resemble German railway crossings with gates and red flashing lights. If you compare this to Rosenthaler Platz in Berlin it's pretty obvious that Germans take trams lighter.

Ah, those colors. I did retouch those pictures a little — this is how I saw them. (The big images are unretouched.)
