Cherry Blossom Canopy at Waterfront Park | Tim Trautmann

A dreamy canopy of pale pink cherry blossoms creates an ethereal tunnel along the Willamette Greenway Trail at Tom McCall Waterfront Park in Portland's Old Town district. The delicate sakura petals blur into soft, romantic layers that filter diffused daylight through their branches. Dark trunk silhouettes contrast against the gossamer blooms, while the shallow depth of field transforms the scene into an impressionistic celebration of spring's ephemeral beauty. A solitary figure moves through this floral sanctuary, dwarfed by the magnificent display overhead.
