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.

I like how the light from those red balconies casts a jewel-like shadow on the white brick.

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).

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

I am lucky: my job involves travel.

I like to travel. (You knew that already, didn’t you?)

Just the other day, I was in Portland, where I spotted this mural and the pair of parking meters. Both made me happy.
