Scenes from Portland

Recently I had a working weekend in Portland and had a couple of hours to walk around the downtown area and just enjoy the colors and architecture of the town. Portland is quite a place. The Fall colors were still accenting the buildings and block by block, it seemed another discovery was made.

A very pretty place, enjoy!




An outdoor bazaar brought out great colors and interesting people!





I've been experimenting with purposefully out-of-focus images to capture a more artistic rendition of the subject.





More deliberate blurrying ... almost becomes a watercolor!
