Architecture in Portlandia

Hello everyone, and happy Tuesday! I have been in Oregon for a week and half now, and would like to share some of my photos from my travels. My sister and I flew to Portland and on our first and second day there, we were led on a walking tour by one of our friends from college. I was able to snap a few pictures as I tried to keep up with the pace. Quite a few people like to walk places in Portland, and it makes sense if you see how many one-way streets there are!

My sun-flared picture of the Portlandia Statue.

A better one from Wikipedia (Thanks anonymous photographer!)

Did you know this is the 2nd largest bronze statue in the United States besides the Statue of Liberty?

A Starbucks in a great little building!

This was how my sister and knew we arrived.

My friend says this looks like raindrops from afar. 

A witty sidewalk sign...

really tiny rooftop plants

The Wells Fargo building-- the tallest in Portland. 

Thanks for checking these out! I have so many more pictures for my viewers. Check back on Thursday as I show all of the cool fountains I came across in downtown Portland!

A little preview for Thursday!
