A short while back I posted some views of a home in NE Portland that I really liked. I revisited the home this past week to capture some of the details of the house that draws me in. From leaded windows to dental molding I think it is an interesting structure that someone put some extra thought and time into.

Something we see in the NW.

Although I never watched the TV show Seinfeld I was told this was the diner featured in the series. After wandering the grounds of Columbia one afternoon with our son we happened to pass by the diner and he pointed it out to me.

From the Staten Island Ferry

Looking back at lower Manhattan and the Brooklyn Bridge from the Staten Island Ferry. There was quite a crowd of people standing on the aft end of the ferry taking pictures. I thought I had a good spot to shoot from, but was soon overrun by camera-clutching tourists pushing me around as everyone jockeyed around for that ‘perfect spot’. A bit crazy, but riding the ferry is a good way to see lower Manhattan and the east channel, downtown Brooklyn, etc.

Man and Hammer

In Rockefeller Center. This engraving confuses me. Why would the Rockefellers commission an engraving of a guy with a hammer, which seems to represent the working class? Maybe this is a representation of a Greek God that I am not familiar with?
