Portland: An Odd Monument

Portland, Oregon ~ May 3, 2009

This odd and interesting stone sculpture can be found at Union Station in Portland. It doesn't really have a lamp sticking out of the top, but I couldn't find a good angle from this side.


It looks more integrated from this side. I don't know what the building is on the other side of the intersection, but the stonework, arches and trees make a nice backdrop. I like it, and I won't say what I think it looks like. I wonder if that's what was intended? (Aha! It was meant to be a cairn, so says the sculptor.)

After posting another photo of Portland two days ago and two of Gaeta, Italy here and here, I thought I might try some theme weeks on Tapirgal's Daily and see what happens. I don't know that they will really be weeks, but I think I'll post a few more pix of Portland over the next few days to give more than just one random image at a time. What do you think?
