Theme Day: Open Air Market

Today, September 1, 2010, is Theme Day across the CDPB (CityDailyPhotoBlog) community. The PICNIC Music and Art Festival was held last Saturday, August 28, under sunny skies in Lincoln Park. Following the Great Fire of 1866 in Portland, the park was created to honor President Lincoln. It is a large rectangle boarded by Market, Federal, Pearl and Congress. Here are a couple of images of the day. You might recall; I'm drawn to vintage clothing with or without my camera hence this shot. Lots of old hippies and their grown children were in evidence manning the many creative booths. Now, if you're a political junkie, you might want to divert your eyes away from the text at this point. Glenn Beck, or even the whisper of him, was nowhere to be seen at this fabulous event!

  3. Good entry for this month's theme day. I did not divert my eyes from the text! I'll interpret it that you're not interested in viewing my photos from the Restoring Honor event. : )

  7. It looks like a fun market with a varied collection of items for browsing.

    Your weather looks more temperate than we are experiencing!

  10. Love your photo---but since I had dinner with GB and his family recently, I just have to say politics always has at least 2 sides--and usually never the twain shall meet!
