This pig can fly

Almost overlooked this cute sign in an apartment window in Portland, Oregon. Spotted earlier this month.

Impromptu snake

Someone looked at the wavy patterns on the side of a building in Portland, Oregon, and figured two goggly eyes can magically transform it into a snake-like creature. Works for me!

Because we're all five years old inside

So … yeah. Not exactly highbrow but it made me chuckle! Spotted in Portland, Oregon, back in the fall.

Laurelhurst

The Laurelhurst Theater has what I consider to be one of Portland’s more extravagant examples of neon signage (of those I’ve seen so far, anyway). It’s on the northwest corner of E Burnside St. and 28 Ave.

Cascade of colours

Spotted this in Portland a couple of months ago … could never figure out if this was some kind of art project or the visually pleasing result of a plain old accident.

I hope to capture this scene at night, one day. It looks pretty when you’re driving through, in any case …

An intriguing shop window display in downtown Portland, Oregon. Seen on my trip there this fall.
