A bit of urban decay.
Buildings
Creepy Window
This store window is incredibly creepy. I know owners put the mannequin in the window, but I’m not sure if they also did the writing or not. Either way its creepy!
Country Shed
I love how framing can make something look so different. This shed in my friend’s back yard seems like it’s out in the country somewhere. She hates the shed, but I think it makes for some beautiful photos.
Graffiti Paradise
I love taking pictures of graffiti. Part of me hates graffiti because I find it so disrespectful, I would hate to go outside one day and find it on my building. But at the same time it can be incredibly beautiful and actually add some interest to what they painted on.
Urban Birdhouse
I love this birdhouse. It was in an alley between buildings, and just so carefully nestled between the pipes. It’s almost like urban artwork. I didn’t see any birds going in and out, but I hope there are a few feathered friends living there.
Chinese Gardens – Pathways
More from the archives, Portland Chinese Gardens There were tons of lovely little pathways to walk down in the garden, and I love that most of them were shaded by beautiful greenery.
