This "depressing" spot is an art mall in the up-scale Pearl District of Portland, an area filled with high priced shops and million dollar condos. :-) I wish I were depressed enough to live here...

EEE

really? never gotten as far west as Portland and from what I can see there's not a lot of point but I kinda like this snap.

Thanks Nicholas.

It's good to be happy in the place you live Hugh. I don't work for the Chamber of Commerce so I am not attempting to convince you to come to Portland if you see no point in visiting. I'm glad you kinda like the "snap" and I hope to see more of your snaps soon.

Impressive ...

POV, angle and composition you´ve chosen here, E. Edwin. And the content here must be art!? ;-)

Best wishes,

The upper left building is a new Condominium, the brick building is an old office building (Telegraph building?) that now houses architects and attorneys. The column in the foreground was saved from a bridge approach and is covered with some paintings that became famous in Portland when they were painted there during W.W.II by a Railroad worker, or a transient. (I can't remember the story.) What you see covering the column is a framed photograph of what is hidden under the frame and photo, to be resotred later. The people of my city hated to see these images destroyed as a new community was built, so the columns were saved and put into this park.

(I looked it up)

They are called "The Lovejoy Columns" if you are interested Horst. You may read about them at this link.

Thank you E. Edwin ...

for the link you´ve provided. Rather informative story. Reading it, I think it has been well done to preserve these old columns. The top of this column looks like a head with buzz cut :-))

Best wishes,

Sorry for the delay in replying.

Yes, this is the quirky sort of thing that Portland does. Our city is not very old having been founded in the middle of the 19th Century. But the people that live here love the city. We do things differently here. :-) Like, new streetcar systems, the first in the nation since W.W.II!
