Me: Guess I am not finding any weirdness in Portland tonight

Portland:





Me: Portland, I am sorry I doubted you.

I took forever to process these because I knew I wasn't going to be happy with a lot of the pictures. By the time I found stuff to shoot I was tired and trying to beeline home. Also ... I just really miss being able to stop and use bathrooms.











Kind of a random pic, but I am amused at how Portland just doesn't take down holiday decorations:



If I ever finish that one Portland pattern I started while doing a skillshare class on pattern designs, that is going to be an element of it.

as always, your Portland photos are so perfectly representative of this city's embrace of weirdness

Thanks!

Hahaha! I used to live in Portland and this does not disappoint.

I love those lights over the sidewalk. *_* They look super magical.

And I'm a Halloween all year type of person, so I'll drink to the bats.

Halloween is awesome.

I think part of why lights just stay up is how dark it is here and the city planners seem to hate streetlamps for some reason. It gets pitch dark within the city sometimes.

It's by far my favorite holiday!

That makes sense! I can definitely see the appeal of having lights up when everything else is so dark.
