Hot:

As a retrospective I’ve decided to dump (nearly) every picture I took. There’s a mix of travel photos, some repeat photos from previous posts, and photos of Portland. Click on the thumbnails below for the big version. And the photo on the detail page for the extra big version.

Also I just remembered that the first photo was an attempt to capture the following: The bus was Paul Revere, the sign overhead was for British Airway. I was punchy and found that highly amusing. Photo didn’t turn out so well though.

: Not actually sure where I took this. probably boston

: Fancy waiting area outside the gate for our Southwest flight.

: Bagle maki, lawl

: #thatpoorbear and The Obelisk

: political cartoon mockery shot 3

: Armenian beer, dark and light.
