Melting Snow

Portland was treated to a bit of snow yesterday. Compared to last year's, this was nothing. Also, viewed along side that of other "snow" cities, it was insignificant. However, it did allow for some nice melt today.

Portland Art Museum ~ Tangled Lanterns

The early December storms ravaged the red lanterns at the Portland Art Museum. Instead of being a canopy of red over the Sculpture Garden, the lanterns hung in a tangled mass.

No Parking Sign ~ New York City

This No Parking Sign appealed to my Italian heritage. Bill noticed it during one of our walks in the West Village.

Manhattan Couple



From the warmth of a Manhattan M1 bus, this couple attracted my attention. He was the devoted umbrella holder.

After Kirchner


I couldn't help but think of Ernst Kirchner's trees on my hike on Sunday.

Hannu Lintu – Finnish Conducter



Hannu Lintu talked with the early concert goers last night at the Oregon Symphony Orchestra. What a treat -- we may be headed to Tampere, Finland to hear him again. I'm taking the lead from Elliott Erwitt here -- photography where it's not kosher. He published an entire book filled with photography from museums. This one was taken with my iPhone.

Views of the World


Josef Sudek took photos looking out of the window of his atelier. Some days the window was so filled with droplets of water that the view was completely obscured.

What would life be like if your windows were always obscured?
