Portlandia's artist was Raymond J. Kaskey. The theme for the statue is; Lady Commerce, based on the City of Portland seal. She's made of hammered copper, weighs 6.5 tons and is 36 feet 10 inches in height. She was dedicated on October 8, 1985 and is still as beautiful today!
On a snowy day, it's nice to think of summer. Logan (my son) and I spent 4th of July at the Rose Garden and Japanese Garden in Portland.
Believe it or not, this is the first non HDR pic I've posted to flickr since Summer 09'. I've been trying to broaden my horizons a bit, and take some different kinds of photos. A couple nights ago I was an event photographer at this huge beach party in Victoria. Lots of fun!
Mostly built a few years before the grand terraces in Waterloo Place and Clarendon Square, Portland Street is more modest and I suspect grew more organically, as plots of land came up for sale and builders put up what they fancied. As a result, it's quite varied, which is part of its charm (I lived in the lower half for 26 years, moving in at a time when much of the street was in a neglected state in the early 1970s). This is on the east side and interestingly, the house on the right is a 20th-century addition, part of a terrace of sheltered housing around a courtyard behind.
I took the Nikon out today, it's 10 years old this year, but still gives good results with the Nikon lens. Strong northerly winds meant it was just a tad chilly!
