Columbia River Gorge Drive - Portland to The Dalles

One of the great scenic drives in the US, the I-84 through the Columbia River Gorge from Portland to The Dalles.
Starting in urban Portland, past the forested Cascade Mountains, past the wind-surfing city of Hood River, towards arid east Oregon and The Dalles (home to Google's main datacenter, this video is probably streaming from there).
0:00 : the leafy streets of Irvington
1:50 : past an enormous section of a wind turbine tower being trucked to a wind farm up the gorge
2:05 : Mt Hood
2:50 : start of the gorge

Music: Fever Ray - Keep the Streets Empty for Me

Thanks! I picked up on the Fever Ray track from Xavier Dolan's movie 'Heartbeats' - in my top 10 films I saw in 2011 (although it wouldn't appeal to everyone.) I find a lot of new music through movies and YouTube videos these days.

I really love this. I'd never heard the music before & it's amazing. Goes perfectly with the video as well. Thank you for doing this, very appreciated.
