This event, unique to Portland, is so grueling that some athletes opt out (scratch). Harvested from the Sandy River many years ago, the Portland Stone weighs 96 pounds. It is shaped with a slight depression on its under side that athletes nest against their heads while they gain their balance. In three clean motions, the competitor picks up the stone, bringing it to waist height; swings it to the chest; then raised it to the head. Although allowed a 15-foot lead-up, most athletes chose to run five feet or less before tossing the stone.
It was a stunning night down on the Eastside Esplanade. Burnside Bridge shows off in the glassy Willamette River.

The City of Portland office building is a postmodern "classic" by Michael Graves. Postmodernism, of course, has fallen out of favor; yet the building doesn't feel out of place in Downtown Portland, probably due to its relatively modest scale.
The Portland, Oregon train station, composed using autostitch. Love the marble, and the coffered ceiling.
A return daytrip into Portland, Maine, aboard the earliest Casco Bay Lines boat from Chebeague Island, let me enjoy the waterfront scenery again in a whole different light. I spent an hour or so strolling the different wharfs with my camera. This shot is looking toward Custom House Wharf.
I feel so "alive" here, and never tire of the draw of the ocean, whether on a quiet island or the busy waterfronts of the harbor.
