I live in SW Portland, so there isn't much but we thought it would be 
enough. Although I've seen some beautiful pictures taken from parks in 
SW Portland and we have some big parks in my area.

When we got home just after midnight I looked up and there was a faint 
glow. This is the image my phone managed to pull.

We probably didn't need to drive 20 miles north, but I think it was 
worth it.
