Miscellaneous Portland Colors

 

Colorful Miscellany in Portland

Should this be called "street photography"? All were taken on nearby streets...

 

Portland Parks in Black and White

Yesterday's pictures of Fields Park with the Fremont Bridge in the background, 

converted to black and white. Quite a different impact!

Two views of a scene in Tanner Springs Park.

Portland Pearl Park Color

Portland's Pearl District has a nice string of block-size parks, where we enjoy walking.

Black and White in the Pearl District

Setting the camera to L-Monochrome leads to a very different choice of photographic subjects.

 

Colors in the Pearl District

Two variations of the geometrical details of the high-rise across the street.

Mural on the wall of the gym down the block.

Beautifully overgrown pond in Tanner Springs Park.

Farmers Market in Black and White

Black and white makes us focus more on the people, less on the fruits and vegetables.

Neighborhood Colors

 Random scenes from a walk around Portland's Pearl District.

Downtown Portland Black and White

 Every time I set my camera to L-Mono black and white, I wonder why I don't do it more often.

Powell's City of Books Opening

After being closed for months because of the pandemic, Powell's City of Books today opened two rooms (Blue and Green) on the first floor of its full-city-block, four story building. Observing proper social distancing, the rooms were sparsely populated, but it was great to see one of Portland's iconic places (and the world's biggest new and used bookstore) accessible again.
