Urban photography

@tskipper challenged me to urban photography. Being in Portland today it seemed like a good time to get some sots. This is the Hay Building which is a gridiron building. My favorite building in Portland. Took this with my tablet.

Great choice for a b/w! Makes me think of New York's famous Flatiron Building.

[Joan Robillard]

@skipt07 opps I called it a grid iron building and it should have been flatiron. My bad. Just another senior moment.

[Denise Wood]

Terrific :)

[Richard Sayer]

It's a wonderful building - shame though that these days it doesn't offer anything more edifying than tattoos!

[Joan Robillard]

@vignouse Oh you can get a Starbucks coffee too. LOL I avoided that sign.

[Joan Robillard]

@vignouse Well not totally you can see it on the ride side.

[Krista Marson]

It's unfortunate that new buildings never look this good!

[FBailey]

Amazing building!
