2010, Day 305 - Iconic Portland

The St. Johns Bridge is probably one of the most recognizable bridge in Portland connecting North Portland's St Johns neighborhood to the Northwest Industrial district over the Willamette River. The Gothic suspension towers are just plain cool and the city has worked hard to keep this bridge in good working order.

2010, Day 241 - Urban wilderness

It was a nice mild afternoon so I went by Forest Park. If you ever come to Portland it is worth visiting, this park is renown for being the largest within city limits in the world. About five years ago a runner discovered a father and daughter who had been living in the park for years, they had a shelter built and he was homeschooling her. They lived completely off the gird in the city. My experience, on the other hand, was much more fleeting...

The Saint John's Bridge on my drive home. I had to take this photo out the window at a stop light.
