Alaska Airlines Approach Through Lavender Dusk

Tim Trautmann @timtrautmann.com · May 4 7700 Block Northeast Killingsworth, Portland, Oregon, US

An Alaska Airlines Embraer E175 regional jet cuts through the ethereal lavender twilight sky as it approaches Portland International Airport from the east. The aircraft, operated by SkyWest, appears suspended against the soft pink and purple hues of dusk, with the dark silhouette of Mount Saint Helens rising majestically in the distant background. A dense line of evergreen trees forms the foreground boundary, their darkened forms creating a striking contrast against the pastel sky. The scene captures the serene moment of evening approach, where aviation meets the natural grandeur of the Pacific Northwest.
