Another day discovering Portland!

Drove across the Interstate Highway I5-S passing Hayden Island to see the St. John’s Bridge on a bright sunny morning! Then made a stop at Pittock Mansion to explore some portland history and, walked up to the Pittock Acres Park to finally get a view of the portland skyline.

Murals of Portland 🎭

Something that catches your eye when you drive down the streets of Portland are the artistic murals! What I love about murals is that express historical and cultural identity, create a sense of community and raise awareness about social issues. Here’s some picks from what I visited:

📍Little PDX Heart
2447 SW Avenue

📍Swimming Elephant
2314 NE @ Alberta St.
