Pictures from SECOND outing to downtown Portland at dawn.

This next batch of pictures are from around the Portland Rose Garden arena, home of the Portland Trailblazers NBA team.

I'm fixated by geometric shapes, contrasting angles and shapes, and compositions that look like collages. So you'll see some panorama shots, lots of images of the bridges and their steelwork and structure.

This image is of the flass towers arising from the Convention Centre, behind the Rose Garden. The glass and its metal skeleton were gleaming in the early morning sun.
