Nostalgic

This is the famous old White Stag sign, a skiwear manufacturer that used to be based in Portland but was purchased by Wal-Mart. It advertised the brand for 40 years but has been changed and now advertises Portland’s Old Town. Shot at an awkward angle as I was hanging out the car window just as we were approaching it.

I think this is finally the end of my Portland gallery, unless I find something else I missed. We always visit Tim’s family on home leave, but have never spent three whole weeks there, and it was delightful. I was worried that there wouldn’t be enough to do or see, but that definitely wasn’t the case. I could have stayed longer!

Terrific clarity of this iconic and very beautiful sign. The side lighting on the sign and intense blue sky works well in this beautifully photographed capture Helen. V

What a great old sign. I'm always happy to seen them re-purposed instead of torn down!

Love this iconic old Portland sign (I used to live in Portland) - so glad Wal-Mart didn't ruin it.

I think you got a nice PoV for this iconic sign. I remember wearing White Stag clothing a while back. V

bit of a leap from Riyadh to Portland, yet you carried off the transition seamlessly..
