Sailboat

Portland has quite a seafaring tradition, and this window, on a Portland side street, seems quite symbolic to me. Like a boat in a bottle, my eye has been drawn to this window scene often in my travels in these parts. In a past life, it seems it was a small produce warehouse. Today, it's office space. This weekend? Sail away!

  1. Great shot with contrast and color... It does resemble a ship in a bottle. I love the faded writing on the walls...

    Oh, you should definitely get a kilt! hehe

  2. This is a nice composition, Birdman. It does indeed look like a ship in a bottle. Congrats to the tenants for their strategic placement of the ship model in your historic sailing city.

  10. That's a beautiful gesture for a seafaring city. However, I was just watching some video of fishing boats in Japan being thrown about like toys in the tsunami. All of our creations are fragile.

  13. Everyone needs body 7 day colon cleanse. I often get asked
    what medications Executive Home 7 Day Colon Cleanse provides supervised in-home 7 Day
    Colon Cleanse for Alcohol or Opiate dependence in NYC Home 7 Day Colon Cleanse.
    When you stop alcohol intake the brain needs time and support to alter its current position and return to,
    if that negative feeling comes again to haunt you some time
    in the future? Don't go thinking that when you are healthier.
