Pictures from either end of my travels on Wednesday. Compelling N Mississippi storefronts in the late afternoon. And a couple from the Hawthorne (the oldest standing bridge in Portland) at nightfall, just as all the lights were flickering on: the 14 heading west, and a downriver shot of the eastside.

"Ross Island, the bridge's namesake, was at one time home to a famous distillery. McArthur's Oregon Geographic Names, an indispensable work, says the island was once legendary for its "'Blue Ruin' whiskey of pioneer days . . . it was a fluid of high voltage." The distillery is gone, and now it is home to a large number of Blue Heron rookeries."
