I was sorting through all the pictures that I took up on the roof of the Bank of California building and they seemed deserving of a post of their own. Taken together they offer a good almost-360 degree perspective of the city from right in the middle. And the bird, which I think was a Red-Tailed Hawk, was enough to give any hot-blooded bipedal domesticate the shivers. You should have been there.

"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."
