Rooftop commuting

A wonderful piece of public art on the roof of River City Bicycle in Portland, Oregon. Snapped this photo back in the spring.

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

Hollywood & Vine

Reaching a little ways back into the vault … here’s a photo from my visit to Los Angeles last year, from the Hollywood/Vine Metro station. Love the culturally appropriate film-spool-ceiling-tiles.

Métropole dorée

One more skyline photo to round out this week’s series of posts featuring city views. This is of Montreal in the autumn, captured on my phone from the Olympic Stadium tower back in 2011.

Ville de ponts

Paris, city of light, city of love … and most practically, city of bridges. This is the Seine and her many spans, seen from the Eiffel Tower back in September 2012.

This is a busy scene at the old Fulton Fish Market near the South Street Seaport in Manhattan, New York, from back in August 2011.
