Water tower at the Edgefield
The Edgefield is a huge complex of buildings and grounds (the former county poor farm) that was taken over by the McMenamin brothers and turned into a collection of resturants, pubs and bars. It also has a hotel. We went to dinner there at the Black Rabbit to celebrate Jonathan's retirement.

Three phase transformer at the substation next to Portland Nursery
Walking by this today, the cooling fans were turning in the strong wind that was blowing. The high voltage comes in from the left and the low voltage leaves on the right (smaller insulators).

Sycamore
This giant sycamore has perhaps 5 massive trunks and large cables have been tied through them and connecting them, opposite to opposite to hold it from splitting apart. I walk by it most every day and marvel.

Rainbow over Portland
Looking north towards downtown Portland from the nature path along the Willamette river at my mother's retirement complex. Notice how much lighter the sky appears below the rainbow, a well documented phenomenon.
