Two Tons of Luck

Winged Figures of the Republic
Route 93, NV

Rubbing the feet of the statue is supposed to bring good luck. And with Las Vegas so close, it can’t hurt.

Fresh Out the River

Gov. Tom McCall Statue
Riverfront Park
101 Front St NE
Salem, OR 97301


Tom McCall served as Oregon's 30th governer. Serving his term 1967-75. His political legacy is the instrumental role he played in environmental and community preservation groups. I shot this picture yesterday in the rain. The raindrops and detail on the salmon give the effect that it came fresh out of the river.
