Steel Bridge, MAX coming and going on a blue sky day.

September 20, 2011, a Tuesday. 1:50 p.m. I rode the MAX Yellow Line to the clinic at Kaiser Interstate to get my eyes checked. There was a giant floater in the right one, sort of like a black fern, but it didn't get in the way of my seeing this opportunity to take a photo of the MAX Green Line heading towards us on the Steel Bridge as we crossed the Willamette River heading northeast. There's a gentle curve in the tracks here that allows this exciting view from one train to the other. By the way, the floater eventually disappeared, thank goodness. And, once again, I have found a bit of blue sky day to share with you.

My last, as of now anyway, photo of Running Horses, Tom Hardy, 1986, Bronze

Running Horses on the move, right beside the TriMet MAX Yellow Line cars, heading north on SW 6th Avenue, downtown Portland. If you remember the other Running Horses posts, you might be wondering why this is a Yellow Line MAX on the Green Line. Both of the lines share the northbound tracks on SW 6th and the southbound tracks on SW 5th.

One of these days I just might take more photos of this public art, but for now, this is the last one. I really like the feeling of movement caused by the blurry light rail train cars. Hope you do, too.
