All around the Pioneer Courthouse in central Portland stand little reminders of the creatures that live beyond the city’s limits, out in the hinterland of Oregon.

Bear, salmon

Beaver

Doe and fawn

Seal

Wall of whisky

It would take very many visits to sample all of those delectable choices … a quick snap-and-go of the beautifully lit display at a whisky bar in Portland, Oregon, last year.

A lovely spot overlooking the City of Portland. This image was snapped back in the spring. Perhaps I’ll venture inside next time …
