McLellan Again

I don't like to go back to the well too often. Seldom have I posted photographs of the same subject over again. However, last year I posted a picture, about this time, of the entire front view of the McLellan House on a gray day. Last week, I was driving by it and saw these shadows. I had to stop and shoot. My first experience with this building was as a junior year in high school. We took a field trip here, and I remember I was amazed at the windows with all that glass, letting sunlight just flood into the rooms. I thought it was so cool, that at one time a family had actually had lived in this beautiful home and walked these long hallways. We learned a lot about the McLellan family and their impact on this city that day. The building is now connected to the Portland Museum of Art, having been refurbished and reopened in 2002.
