Mile Post Sign
Distances to nine sister-cities and other geographical destinations are listed on this whimsical signpost.
I took this photo on February 28, when I was downtown after attending the Architectural Heritage Center's program "Writing Local History." Just so you know, I've tried to take photos of this mile post sign other times. This is the first one I've taken that I've liked, ever.
I've been to some of the sites, all either in Portland or nearby--Pacific Ocean, Zoo, Mt. Hood, Washington Park, Portlandia, Columbia River Gorge (Col Riv Gorge), TriMet Info, and Waterfront. I'm not sure where that Independence is, but when I Googled and MapQuested Portland to Independence, Missouri, I found that it's 1800 miles, so I guess that's not the Independence they mean.
Have you been to any of the sites show at this angle of the sign?
That's cute! I've been to the Great Wall.
ReplyDeleteO-K - that's confusing!
ReplyDeleteThe kangaroos are over there!
ReplyDeleteWhen I did the Google, it said 1502 miles to Independence, MO.
ReplyDeleteI love these signs!
ReplyDeleteA great shot of our famous sign! I like the wintery look. I usually shoot it in the summer!
ReplyDeleteI've seen signs like this, but this one seems to have the most destinations. I wonder where is Kangaroos.
