At the start of the Cedar River Trail. New Boeing planes with the protective wrap, a heron and a view of the Renton section of the river looking south.

A few scenes outside the Pike Place Market, Seattle: dog’s eye view, break time, etc.

The shoreline photos were taken between Tacoma and Olympia. Very picturesque. Last image is of the tower at Union Station in Portland.

Amtrak: Seattle to Portland

Thought I would post a few images, today and tomorrow, from the train ride I took a few weeks ago. I have travelled the route, between Seattle and Portland, probably 50-60 times in the past 5 years. Most of the year the weather isn’t very cooperative. This particular trip, an early morning, was beautiful so I did remember to grab my camera and shoot through the window from my seat. These three shots are from the Tacoma area. Farm land just outside of Tacoma and the other two images are from the waterfront area just past the Tacoma Amtrak station.

Odds and Ends

Odd and ends for a Saturday. All from NE Portland. Elevated bike? Large map of Portland on the side of a garage– I am not sure of the meaning of any of this stuff. “And so it goes”.

Skidmore St. Cast-offs

Some of the odd items spotted along Skidmore St., NE Portland. I did pick up the syringe (diabetic?) and dispose of it later. It’s so infuriating to find stuff like a syringe that could be so dangerous to humans of all ages, but especially children. That is my rant for the day.

John Palmer House

Located on Mississippi St., in NE Portland. The front gate is padlocked and bushes, as you can see, cover the view of most of the front of the house now. I’m not sure if tours are conducted or if the house is just closed up. It is on the National Historic Registry.

‘Painted Ladies’ of Albina St.

Not exactly as impressive as the ‘Painted Ladies‘ across from Alamo Park in San Francisco, but that is what came to mind as I walked by these houses on Albina St. in NE Portland.
