Nun Of That!

Retro Colors

One of my favorite Portland buildings. The array of nostalgic multicolored squares has always captured the attention of not only myself but, numerous others who pass by. This is the back view on S.W. 11th Avenue. I photographed the front view located on S.W. 10th Avenue back in 2013. That particular image ended up on the website of RUSH (The Band).
