Prohibited Bridge Activities

The underside of the Hawthorne Bridge, where there are several things you cannot do. To be honest, I didn’t bother to read the sign, so I am hoping that “taking photographs” was not on the list.

But at least no one yelled at me.

It was a three-stool place

Portland is famous for its food carts. How famous? So famous the food carts have their own website. On that website, there are over 100 different cuisines listed, so no matter your particular food carving, you’ll probably be able to find a cart that’s to your liking.

Here are three stools, waiting on customers, at a food cart pod at SW 9th and Alder (the largest in the concentration of street food in America, according to the food-cart website).

I thought the pedestrian ruined the shot when she walked into it, so I made another one after she’d gone. Turns out, she made the shot.

This is the Hawthorne Bridge. And the Willamette River. And the early-morning sun.

Holding up the sky

Another sky view from Yellowhouse Canyon – this one looking west. Those mesquite branches look as though they are hard at work, holding the sky aloft.

Here’s the view to the south. And to the east.
