We briefly crossed over into Washington on the way to Oregon's coast. In the village of Iwaco, I saw a dog gazing from the bed of a pick up truck at the figure of a child in a historical mural. The truck stopped just long enough for me to make this photograph. I like the way the curve of the dogs neck echoes the curve of the arch over the boy. The image incongruously links two periods in time, boy with dog, and reality with fiction.
