Wall painting of a business next to Via Chicago Pizza, NE 15th and Prescott in #PDX. The Chicago-style pizza is as authentic as you can get this far west of the Mississippi and delicious. Enjoyed in the lengthening shadows of an August Sunday afternoon, it's very special.

Alexander James Adams, the Faerie Tale Minstrel, rocking #Orycon45 as only he can.
We've followed Alec's career (and his sometimes perilous journeys) for the last 30 years more or less.

Looking west on Stark Street, down the slope I like to call Twelvemile Hill, #Gresham Oregon
The late afternoon sun creates a haze which gives a cloak of mystery, and the sun shines of the drooping power lines giving a visual theme I am particularly fond of.
