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

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.

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.

Peninsula Park was the original ‘Rose Garden’ in Portland, OR. Located in NE Portland I would guess city officials decided that a park like this should be located closer to downtown.
