MAX Train at Skidmore Fountain
A MAX Red line train on its run from Beaverton to the Portland International Airport passes the Skidmore Fountain in old town Portland.
If this was a Saturday or Sunday except in the months of January and February this area would be jammed packed with people attending the Portland Saturday Market with trains crawling through to ensure no one gets hit. However because it is a weekday things are much quieter in the area and for the operator.
I love walking around Downtown Portland and the surrounding areas taking pictures. No matter how many times I walk the area I always find something new to take pictures of.
This picture also makes me realize that next month will mark 3 years since I boarded a Red Line train at the airport to attend a conference here in Portland and how much my life would change since. Little did I know when I rode the Red Line that day that I would be moving here to Portland in nine months and would make the frightening step to return to school.
Now three years later it seems like all a blur.
Lunch is now being served...
Are you hungry? Well if you like Chinese food you might just be after looking at this picture. A food cart has displays several of their dishes during the Portland Saturday Market.
There is Sweet and Sour Chicken and General Tso's which are my favorites plus several other tasty treats.

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.
