The one that got away!

Corner of NW 9th & Salmon (no kidding), near the Portland Art Museum.

EDGE: DDW Sept 26 challenge by Anniemay


I've been wanting to blip this salmon for months. It's one of my favorite pieces of public art. If you stand on the corner you have to crane your neck really far back to see it. It's wonderful in every light. I gave it a surrealistic color effect because it's surreal! I wanted it to look as if it might have been an image in a dream.

Note how cleverly the bricks are laid to express the passage of the fish through the edge of the building.
