Fountians in Portland (A Travel Blog Continued)

Hello everyone and happy Thursday!

On my (part of) two-day(s) walking tour with some buddies in Portland, we saw fountains in every direction! My resident friend mentioned in an ironic way that he wondered if Portland lost a lot of water that way.

Nevertheless, I loved seeing all the fountains and water displays. I tried to catch as many photos of them as I could, and even dipped my toes in a few of them. Some were simple, some grandiose, and as I post these pictures of them, I'll try and tell you the names of the ones I remember!

My first glimpse of the Lovejoy

The Lovejoy Fountain on Lovejoy Street. 









Ira's Fountain
"Strength and Beauty come from us, not tyranny." 

There's a place you can stand behind a waterfall!

A park in honor of mothers


A water feature outside of a Subway



The drinking fountains are always bubbling, there. 

This very last one is the one and only natural water feature. It's outside of Portland, on Interstate 84, near the Dalles.

Doing what I like to do best... 



I'm such a water-lover myself, that it was a lot of fun to see all these fountains and water features around. I hope you all liked them, as well!

Thanks for reading, and Happy Thursday!
