Saw this on the streetcar on my way to a friend's place. He later explained that they take the MAX up to the Portland Zoo then ride them down the hill. They were investigated by local police as a terrorist group, courtesy of the PATRIOT Act.
I gave my camera to Aiden & Lucas for the drive home and this is one of the good ones. Sometimes they stumble upon something magical.

We happened to visit this Portland Head Lighthouse today and walked into a two-fold Memorial service. One for the sinking of a US Naval Sub-chaser off the coast during WWII, and two, the loss of US service personnel recently overseas. The Marines and Navy had a color guard on top of the lighthouse, while the Blue Angels did a fly-over. portlandheadlight.com/
Portland, Maine has a very historic waterfront and harbor. There were two cruise ships here this day, making for throngs of visitors everywhere.
"Love locks" on the Steel Bridge, Portland OR. According to Telegraph.co.uk: "It is unclear who started the fashion. Italians claim it was sparked by a romantic novel called I Want You, by Federico Moccia, in which the hero and heroine attach a padlock with their name onto a lamppost on Ponte Milvio, near Rome, kiss and throw the key in the river Tiber."
I count about 5 so far on the Steel Bridge, as of 05/17/2010.

Portland. This is Maine’s largest city with a metro population of 500,000. The historic port area is of most interest. When Maine became a state in 1820 Portland was the capital until it was moved to Augusta in 1832. Maine never abolished slavery because it never allowed it. Massachusetts, which had included Maine until 1820, abolished slavery in 1781. Because Portland was a major port and involved in the slave trade, taking salted cod to the South and the Caribbean, returning with molasses and transporting slaves across the Atlantic from Africa, it was also a centre for slave stowaways who escaped on ships. Runaway slaves then alighted at Portland and made an overland journey up to Canada and freedom. The city was a major ‘station’ for the Underground Railroad and black businessmen in the city assisted runaways. The city has developed its own ‘freedom trail’ of sites linked to the Underground Railroad. Anti-slavery lectures were popular in Portland and the Quakers and other religious groups supported abolition of slavery. The city has the third oldest African church in America - the Abyssinian Meeting House (1828). The waterfront affords views across Casco Bay and the city centre is known for its charming 19th century buildings. Before arriving in Salem we cross New Hampshire bypassing the city of Portsmouth.
