Mario's Windows

The windows are about as close as I get to Mario's. Even at 60% off the $500 t-shirt would be $200. Maybe in my next life!

Stairway Down

Union Place garage is a wonderful place to find angles, views and an occasional person...

Another View of Big Pink

The "Big Three": Alber Mills, Big Pink and Centennial Mills are three major architectural highlights here in Portland. Centennial Mills has yet to be "restored".

Where Is She Going with That Painting?

Some street photography ... admittedly I was sitting in Boyd's Coffee when I took this.

Red Stack at OMSI

Walk along the Eastside Esplanade and you'll encounter this bright red stack at OMSI. Here you see its reflection.

Yellow Wall at Portland Art Museum

Come check out the freshly painted wall at the Portland Art Museum. Yellow walls will greet you as you enter the exhibit, "Riches of the City".

Tower of Cosmic Reflection

Great day for a trip to the Lan Su Chinese Garden here in Portland. We were entertained with music from this Zheng played by a very talented musician.

Shakespeare at the Multnomah County Library

Find tongues in trees, 
books in running brooks, 
sermons in stones, and 
good in everything. 
-- Shakespeare, As You Like It"

Beamed Up

Whoever this was, didn't get to finish the apple before the transporter button was pushed.

Balcony of Strange Objects

Swedish Voice

When we visited Stockholm, it seemed everyone spoke softly. Inside voices were used outside. Sitting in a restaurant, you wouldn't know the business or activities of everyone around you. Charley took me back to Sweden when he asked for two dollars for the bus. Maybe that's why I gave it to him.

Pearl Bakery

Not much is better than Sunday morning at a Portland Bakery...


unless it's Cooper and Hepburn in the afternoon...

Looking through the Rain

Visit the Lan Su Chinese Garden while it's raining and you'll likely see the garden in a totally different way than you usually would.

Heading Back to the Barn

Fork or Chopsticks

Eating at Toast & Pho, we were presented with this choices of chopsticks or forks to eat our lunch. The food was served quickly, filling and adequate. Most of the other patrons were regulars.

PG 139

This woman was reading at Lovejoy Bakers. I couldn't resist the symmetry of the vertical lines with all of the texture in those characters.

Reflections

Out to dinner at Bewon, one of my favorite restaurants. It's always great to be able to play with your food and drink...

Mt. Hood from Council Crest

Another Universe

Found outside the Lan Su Chinese Gardens...
