International Rose Test Garden

In the hills just west of downtown Portland, in Washington Park, sits the beautiful sights and aromas of the International Rose Test Garden. It’s free to visit, and is open 5am to 10pm every day. In the garden’s six-plus acres, you will find thousands (yes!) of different rose bushes and vines. It’s deservedly one of Portland’s premier tourist destinations; I’ve never visited without seeing people from all over the world there. Plus lots of happy honey and bumble bees.

The photos were taken with my Leica T with a 23mm lens and a Walking Way dual-linear prism filter.
