A few pics

Not a ton, but hopefully I'll be back in the swing of things soon



Might still reshoot at night, I feel like creepy child statue might work better at night



There was no car in front of the mural, for once! Still might reshoot, but at least I got something






You know Mill's End Park? The world's smallest park? Well, meet Mill's End 2 the, uh, second smallest?


There have been random statues and things there before in this traffic island park before, but now it's mostly an empty little free library and this. Points for the attempt at a small version of an official sign

Yeah, if you're going for creepy, I'd definitely try after dark. I found the child cute, but I bet the effect would be totally different at night. The mural is awesome!

Congrats on getting back into the swing of things. Thanks for sharing with us.

It's probably meant to be cute, but it startled me the first time I saw it, which was late at night. I found it once around midnight and only refound it recently. Or maybe I look for creepy a bit too much :)

Thanks!

Oh, I imagine it would definitely be creepy to come upon unexpectedly late at night! So it's a changeling -- sweet during the day and terrifying when the sun goes down. Sounds like the plot for a good horror movie.

A creature cursed to be stone in daylight, hiding in Portland's weird art scene

Thanks for the reminder that I need to get into Parallel Worlds. XD

I especially like the little cityscape there, such an easy thing to overlook!

[olivermoss]

It's a cute little mural!

Very cool pics!

Thanks!

I do feel like that creepy child would give me a minor heart attack in the dark.

Love the Labyrinth mural!

The narrow mural of the traffic light is very cool. I like it.

Ah yes, the... second smallest park!

(A pic of Mills End Park came up as a random suggested post to me on FB sometime last week, and I got to think "ha! I know what that is!")

Thanks!

That's cool. Yeah, Mill's End is a well know bit of Portland. It makes the round, but man no one ever talks about Mill's End 2 and it's sad fake flowers and empty, decaying little free library.

Lol, I can't imagine why Mill's End... 2! isn't the popular powerhouse of the original!
