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!

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

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.

This photo has a lot going for it -- green door against red brick, vintage fifteen pane window, old white lettering announcing its former use -- enjoyed -- barbara

ReplyDeleteThat'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.
