A walk home in pictures
In a (apparently unsuccessful. Sigh.) attempt to keep my weight and blood pressure down to 13 stone, I've taken to walking from the first bus stop on the east side of the Ross Island bridge (2.2 miles through Brooklyn and Sellwood) to Chateau Chaos. Today I decided I'd take a picture of one house per block or close approximation thereof, so people can see, more or less, the sort of zoning I walk through to get here from there.
Brooklyn starts out with a lot of apartment buildings, but rapidly converts to a collection of bungalows punctuated with more-modern infill (many of the lots in Brooklyn appear to have started as 100 feet square, so have been divided and had brand new houses put on the unoccupied side.) This residential area comes to an abrupt stop at Holgate, then (with one block of houses punctuated by industry and highways) becomes apartment buildings south of the 99e bridge, then, after a couple of blocks of mixed bungalow and apartment builds, falls into shops until the block where the big yellow house sits.

David,
This is bloody brilliant.
I will have to try this with my bike ride one of these days.
Thanks.
