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.

While looking for more public art photos to feature, I came across this one of Running Horses. I took it on Feb. 20, 2009. I've been racking my brain trying to figure out why the sun was shining like this and that flowering tree is blooming, plus the bloom on that shorter plant--I think it is a camellia--in February?

Confusing. So I've looked back at my blog and found a completely dry photo that I took on Feb.5, another one where a lady's sitting outside at an ice cream place, bundled up in her coat, but it's sunny, no rain. So, February 2009 must have been a less wet month than I would have thought, with enough sunshine and warmth to bring on the blooms.

I took these four photos on October 5, 2009, because this sculpture fascinated me. I found online that the Running Horses sculpture originally stood on the SW 6th Avenue side of Pioneer Courthouse Square, near the gate from the former Portland Hotel. I found one photo of the sculpture, taken in 2005, when it was still there. I like where it is now much better.
 

After I crossed the street, I took this photo as I walked north on the west side of SW 6th.
 

Then I stopped and took this one before continuing northward to catch my homebound bus.
 

A bonus sculpture, Hilda Morris's Ring of Time, the onion ring-shaped artwork across SW 6th Avenue at the Standard Building.
