Afternoon Adventure - Part One

It was a lovely day today. No sight of rain, plenty of sun, so TJ and I went to pick up Andi and we decided to head to a couple of parks. First stop, Mt. Tabor. The park is built on an extinct volcano, and Portland and Bend, Oregon are said to be the only two cities in the continental U.S. that have an extinct valcano in their boundaries. As you can see, the park also has a few of Portland's resevoirs. The jet of water shooting up is a fountain they just restored and turned on again over the weekend. It is a beautiful park with great views of the city and a lovely scent of pine.




Another view of the resevoirs.



Downtown Portland through the trees. This is from the top of the mountain.



King AJ and his castle. Actually, it was part of the restroom, but it looks cute, eh?




A big, beautiful pine tree and a close up look at its bark.

have been enjoying your blog...seeing my city from the eyes of a (relative)newcomer..... the church that doesn't like sleeping on its front steps is the Baptists. your trip up to mt Tabor reminded me of summer trips up there after work with the hetero boys to drink beer(god!)
keep up the nice work.
