There are far more photogenic things in Portland than I could ever possibly hope to photograph. The first scene was found in the suburb of Vancouver, Washington (where I used to live), and I came across the other two on the campus of the University of Portland.

that second one is mighty neat-- wheres that statue and whats it for??
*Supresses evil urge to yell at you for not knowing what statue it is* :)
I found it at the University of Portland, and it is a memorial-type thing to Lewis and Clark.
This is a very interesting picture. I had never thought that tires could look so well! You've got a great eye for discovering beauty in very unusual places. Congratulations.
Just dropped in from blog explosion and I love your photos. You have real talent.
I would never have thought that a bunch of tires could capture my attention... but they did. I don't know what it was, but you certainly did something right. Obviously I know nothing about photography ;)
