Some kid on the train was making faces at his reflection in the window I think. Either way I was playing with my camera and took a shot of him. Haha
This is a photo of tree reflections on a lake in Pine Grove Park. The image has been mirrored and copied twice to be symmetrical. The detail is best seen full screen.
History & Culture
The Portland Classical Chinese Garden began as a dream in the early 1980’s. It became more focused when Portland and Suzhou, China, became sister cities in 1988 and the idea of a building a Suzhou-style garden in Portland became a goal.
History of Scholar’s Gardens
The city of Suzhou is located approximately 50 miles west of Shanghai on the eastern coast of China. It was founded in 525 BC and is one of China’s oldest cities. It has a mild climate, similar to Portland’s. By 1,000 AD, it had become a thriving city with an economy based on trade. It was also a place for government officials to retire. These retiring Imperial court officials built housing compounds that featured beautiful gardens. These gardens attempted to duplicate nature found in traditional Chinese landscape paintings, and the nature of the nearby Yellow Mountains. The gardens would be used to entertain guests and undertake intellectual pursuits such as painting, poetry, and conversation. This Garden is based on a garden built in Suzhou during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644 AD).
Construction
The Garden was built on land donated by Northwest Natural who had for 20 years used it as their parking lot. The groundbreaking ceremony was held in July 1999, and construction was completed in September 2000. The majority of the materials used in the construction of the Garden originated in China. Approximately 65 workmen from Suzhou created the structures and completed the work. An American construction company did the site preparation and foundation work. The Garden is in compliance with all current U.S. construction codes, and was completed at a total cost of approximately $12.8 million.
After a long day at work, being rained on at the train station and a whole host of delayed trains the underpass to get home was also flooded. It never rains but it pours so they say.
Shining light down upon those who served, the flag represents the country they served. WWII vets are vanishing and the glimmers of light shine upon them.

Trying to grab a reflection shot, inside the Cage Master storm drain was rather tricky!, Being a long exposure, the water had to be perfectly still, which was tricky with flowing side pipes!
I'm back in the comfort of home, and yet is already yearning for another road trip very soon...But for now, it's a time for reflection, for small conquests within the confines of daily living.
