Mobile Artist Studio


I decided to spend the first Saturday in March walking around downtown seeing what I could find to interest me to photograph.

I walk around for a little while till I saw people near the Portland Saturday Market. I thought the market didn't open until late March but as it turns out it opens the first Saturday in March.

This guy has a cool set up. He has turned his bicycle into a mobile studio and gallery. You can see he is painting on one side of the bike and has paintings available for sale on the other side. Talk about being creative.

Lovely home in Portland Heights


This lovely home sits in the Portland Heights area of Portland. Many of the homes in this area are very lovely but I love the classic architecture of this particular home.

Theater on Main Street in Gunnison, Utah


A couple of years ago we did a day trip from Salt Lake City to Salina, Utah via US Highway 89.

In Gunnison, Utah we found this lovely classic theater that is still being used. It could use a paint job but at least its still operating which can't be said of some of the rest of town.

Anyone want a locomotive?

This locomotive belongs to the Port of Tillamook Bay Railroad. The railroad has been shut down since a devastating storm a few years ago.

Apparently this locomotive was abandoned in Timber, Oregon since that day.

Hungry??


Voodoo Donuts is a downtown Portland institution that is known for its long lines along with its donuts.

Lines can often be a block long to get in the place. Although I have never had them I have heard they are wonderful.

Today I passed by there and although the place was packed there was no line and it was so tempting to try some donuts out.

You also have the wonderful neon sign.

Cape Meares Light House


The Cape Meares Light House sits west of Tillamook Oregon. I the lighthouses in Oregon I have visited this one is one the prettiest locations and easiest to photograph.

Sadly the lighthouse was vandalized a couple of years ago when two drunk idiots decided to shoot it. The two where caught and prosecuted but the damage has been done.

While I took the normal shots of most people do of the light house, I took this one shot from the main path leading to the parking area that I liked.
