  • Low water level in Reservoir 5 reveals the interconnect conduit, a direct pipe connection between Reservoir 5 and Reservoir 1 that maintains both reservoirs at exactly the same water surface elevation or allows one to be filled from the other when empty. The interconnect conduit runs in a concrete tunnel between the two reservoirs. Mount Tabor Park, Portland, Oregon, USA.

  • Backlit morning valley mist with Mount Hood 3,426m (11,239ft) beyond, viewed from Mount Tabor Park in Portland.  The left skyline is Cathedral Ridge, and the right skyline is the Southeast Ridge.  The bulge in the Southeast Ridge is called the Steel Cliff.  Mount Hood is a stratovolcano in the Cascade Volcanic Arc of Northern Oregon.  The mountain's twelve glaciers are thinning as a result of glacial retreat attributed to Global Warming associated with world climate change.

  • A mini-series following my 44mm-high Homies character Pelon, where he poses for photo ops at potholes on the streets of Mount Tabor Park.<br />
Leadership fixes potholes, not patching.<br />
Chronic neglect of Portland’s streets is manifesting in the burgeoning number and size of dangerously large potholes across the city.  Here, pothole road damage is seen in Mount Tabor Park, Portland, Oregon. <br />
Engineering: From a technical perspective, a great deal of information can be gleaned from a deep pothole, as it provides a cross-section-view of the pavement structural section…or lack thereof, as in this case.  Here, the asphalt wearing surface is heavily pitted, highly oxidized and brittle, confirming many years of neglect.  The asphalt layer is minimal; confirming this road never received the maintenance originally planned. The size variation of aggregate chunks in the base course layer tells the story of a roadway constructed originally from well-graded materials. Roadway base course should be well-graded, faceted aggregate so as to provide optimum particle interlock.  The breakup of pavement behind and to the left of Pelon – at the gutter – suggests that poor drainage played a role in this failure, and absence or repair has allowed water to saturate the base layers and complete the failure.  This road has failed due to neglect and no amount of patching will restore a level of service – or service life – that should be reasonably expected of it.<br />

The conclusion is unequivocal; this road has failed and no amount of patching will restore a level of service – or service life – that should be reasonably expected of it.<br />

Engineering: From a technical perspective, a great deal of information can be gleaned from a deep pothole, as it provides a cross-section-view of the pavement structural section…or lack thereof, as in this case.  Here, the asphalt wearing surface is heavily pitted, highly oxidized and brittle, confirming many years of neglect.  At this pothole, the asphalt layer is thick; confirming this road has received an overlay, but perhaps covering up this pothole without first repairing it. The base course layer is hard to characterize because the quantity of water present. Roadway base course should be well-graded, faceted aggregate so as to provide optimum particle interlock.  This dangerous pothole, in the traveled way and where pedestrians cross, can be repaired by cutting out and reconstructing, but simply patching or overlaying will rapidly lead to a repeat failure, preventing a level of service – or service life – that should be reasonably expected of it.<br />

He was editor of the The Oregonian newspaper from 1866-1872. The statue was found toppled to the ground on the morning of 20 October 2020 following a series of statue removals during racial justice protests in Portland. On 20 February 2021, a sculpture entitled Bust of York, by an unidentified artist, appeared on the same pedestal.
