Space Needle, Seattle Center, night and day

Seattle. (March 2015 and April 2014)

How neat it was to see the glass flowers at Seattle Centre glowing at night! Captured the image on the left a couple of weeks ago. The one on the right was taken at the same spot during a beautiful spring day in April 2014.

Curving skyward

This lovely sculpture stands on the edge of Portland’s Chinatown, toward the Pearl district.
Pretty under any light, it’s most striking as it was last week, bright red under a blue sky.

Cuba, si!

This colourful mural in Portland, Oregon, fills the wall of a building that’s also home to a Cuban restaurant. The place serves one of my favourite mocha espressos, anywhere. The drink looks almost too pretty to consume.

Almost too pretty to drink

Deconstruction

It’s not too hard to fill in the blanks for this piece of public art. Spotted on Portland’s east side last week.

This cute building lives under the shadows of an elevated expressway that cuts across the northside of Portland, Oregon.

Bear cubs

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

Open door on public square

This piece of public art near the Walt Disney Concert Hall frames Los Angeles City Hall across the Grand Park. Saw this on my visit there in the autumn of 2013.

Another one for my visual collection of telephone poles. Snapped and processed this with my phone a few days ago.
