head for the hills

I take pictures of walls. A lot.

I’m not exactly sure where my photographic fascination with walls stems from but I certainly had a plethora of images to pick from for this week’s travel theme from Where’s My Backpack?

I eventually settled on some shots from the wonderfully weird city of Portland, Oregon. From what I observed when I was there last year, Portlandians are an artistic and kooky bunch and walls seemed to be the medium of choice for self-expression. The first photo says it all really…

Here are some other wall shots from around the city…

Downtown Portland

The glittery bricks of the iconic Voodoo Donut store

Pedestrian bridge
