(The image) (Title) Always changing by Natalie El-Jourbagy

(The description) I wake up everyday, and the first thing I do is gaze out of my window to see what the sky has in store for me. In that moment, I am reminded daily of how lucky I am to live in downtown Portland, Oregon. I love how the water tower and "Made in Oregon" sign shimmer in the distance, protecting the city from the East. Everyday, I see both icons as they were the day before, yet everyday what changes is that beautiful sky. On this particular day, I captured an early morning of rolling clouds burnt by a summer sunrise. Not only does the sky change daily, but the sign has changed twice from White Satin for the White Satin Sugar Company to White Stag in 1957. It was only in 1996 when it changed to what we see today, "Made in Oregon." Will it ever change again?


I'd love your feedback such as fixing my sentences up, other ways of conveying what I'm feeling, etc.
