Snowy Day

Portland is seeing a strong winter storm now with snow on the ground and freezing rain on the way.   BRRRRR!

However the weather, Dave and I still got to the cemetery to document its changing appearance.  Snow is such a rare occurence in Portland that a few pics are absolutely necessary.

 

This angel is not from Multnomah.  Rather this photo was taken in January 1980 at Lone Fir Cemetery during the remarkable snow and ice storm combination storm that year.  From David A Anderson's photos on flickr.

Faces in the Snow

Here are a few of the faces etched onto stones.  The recent snow creates a perfect medium to photograph them, with good reflection of light.  These are the faces of strength and character.  I honor them.
