Death takes flight over NE Alberta Street in Portland, Oregon

So I look up on a photowalk on NE Alberta St. in Portland last weekend to find myself pleasantly surprised by a skeleton attempting to fly … or so it seems, anyway!

That other Bowery

You’d be forgiven if you walked into this place and thought you’d been transported to New York. But you are really in a bagel shop on the edge of the Pearl District, not far from Portland Union Station.

Saturday morning Winter Portland Farmers Market

Just a couple of Saturdays left in the winter market in the green space behind the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall in Portland. Lots of tasty foods prepared on the spot and fresh produce to bring home.

Grand Central Station in New York City

New York’s Metropolitan Transit Authority is celebrating the 100th anniversary of Grand Central Station.
Cheers and here’s to 100 more — at least!
Here’s a shot of the station taken on a visit back in February 2011.

Across the Thames

London’s new tallest building, The Shard, was opened to the public this week. This is a view of the landmark as it was back in September October, from the observation platform at St. Paul’s Cathedral.
The Shard itself has an observation deck … I’ll be sure to stop by when I get back to London for my next visit.
